CPL. CHRIS PARKER, et al.,
Defendants

Case No. 3:12-0489
Judge Trauger/Brown

O R D E R
The Plaintiff in this matter has written the Court a
letter, which was received on May 29, 2012. Any correspondence the
Plaintiff has with the Court should be in the form of a motion or
other pleading with a caption similar to that used above in this
order.

Once any of the Defendants are served the Plaintiff must

send a copy of anything he files with the Court to opposing counsel
with a certificate of service in the form stated as follows:
I certify that a copy of the foregoing [enter name of the
document you are mailing] has been mailed to [write in
names and addresses of all Defendants] on [write in date
you mailed the document].

The Clerk is directed to send the Plaintiff a copy of the
Court’s Local Rules.
The Plaintiff further asks why the docket sheet does not
show a jury demand in this case.

The reason is that the Plaintiff

in his complaint did not request a jury in his prayer for relief as
required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The Magistrate Judge will consider this letter as a
request for a jury demand and the Clerk will amend the docket sheet
to so reflect.
Once the Plaintiff has returned the service packets,
service of process has been obtained, and the Defendants have
responded, the Magistrate Judge will enter a scheduling order or
hold a Rule 16 hearing.
It is so ORDERED.
