February 4, 2011
ORDER
Plaintiff, a state prisoner, is proceeding without counsel with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
By an order filed January 6, 2011, this court ordered plaintiff to complete and return to the court, within thirty days, the USM-285 forms and copies of his complaint which are required to effect service on the defendants. On January 11, 2011, plaintiff submitted the USM-285 forms, but failed to file the copies of the December 27, 2010, complaint. Plaintiff must submit four copies of his complaint for service, i.e. a copy of the complaint for each of the three defendants and one copy of the complaint for the U.S. Marshal.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days, plaintiff shall submit to the court four copies of the complaint required to effect service. Failure to return the copies within the specified time period will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
