As there is no valid complaint in this action and no defendants have been served, Plaintiff's motion is at best, premature. In addition, Plaintiff is advised that if he seeks relief from the court, he must set forth his requests in a pleading or motion and that he must serve copies of all pleadings and motions on all Defendants through their counsel of record pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(b)(1). Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(d), Plaintiff is also required to attach and file a certificate of service stating that he has served all Defendants with the pleading and/or motion
