Defendants.
The District Court has referred this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action to United States
Magistrate Judge J. Richard Creatura. The Court’s authority for the referral is 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(A) and (B), and Magistrate Judge Rules MJR3 and MJR4.
Before the Court is plaintiff’s motion for clarification. Dkt. 29. Although the basis for
plaintiff’s motion is not clear, the Court interprets plaintiff’s request for clarification as a request
to serve his first amended complaint (Dkt. 19). Plaintiff states that he is seeking “assistance of
the state contract attorneys office of Jean Schidler-Brown and Associates P.S. 606 Post Ave
Suite 101 Seattle WA, 98104 for the purpose of proper service of summons and complaint.” Id.
Plaintiff also states he seeks service upon the Washington Attorney General’s office. Id.

However, the Court has already ordered service of plaintiff’s first amended complaint on

2 all named defendants and the Washington Attorney General’s office (Dkt. 30). Thus, plaintiff’s
3 motion is denied as moot. To the extent that plaintiff seeks to contact Ms. Brown, Ms. Brown has
4 not entered an appearance in this case and thus, plaintiff must contact her directly without
5 assistance from the Court.
