Date Filed Document Text
July 9, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 39 ORDER of Dismissal (see attached). The Clerk is directed to close the file. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on July 9, 2014.(Dorais, L.)
December 20, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 35 RULING: denying 33 Motion for Reconsideration. Signed by Judge Joan G. Margolis on 12/20/2013. (Rodko, B.)
November 7, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 28 ORDER (see attached) - denying without prejudice 9 Plaintiff's Motion for Compensatory Damages. In order to change or alter a prayer for relief, as Plaintiff is attempting to do in his Motion for Compensatory Damages, a plaintiff must file a complete amended complaint rather than a stand-alone motion. Plaintiff's Motion for Compensatory Damages cannot be considered an amended complaint as it seeks not to replace Plaintiff's initial Complaint, but rather merely to add to and su pplement it. Plaintiff is, however, free to file an amended complaint in this action. Any such amended complaint must, among other things, name all defendants in the case caption and include all claims and requests for relief. Plaintiff's Motion for Compensatory Damages is thus DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to Plaintiff's filing a proper amended complaint in this action. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on 11/7/13. (Hornstein, A)
September 9, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 12 PRICS - ORDER (see attached) - Within ten (10) days of this Order -- i.e., by Thursday, September 19, 2013-- the Clerk shall mail to Defendant Michael Decenzo a waiver of service of process request packet including a copy of Plaintiff's initial Complaint, [Doc. 1]; a copy of the Court's Initial Review Order [Doc. 5]; and a copy of this Order. Thirty-five (35) days after this mailing, the Pro Se Office shall report to the Court on the status of the waiver request. If Defendant Decenzo fails to return the waiver request, the Clerk shall make arrangements for in-person service by the U.S. Marshals Service and Defendant shall be required to pay the costs of such service in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d). The C ourt notes that Plaintiff has made two motions for preliminary injunction claiming that he is in constant pain and seeks pain relief from Defendants. The Clerk is therefore directed to forward a copy of this Order and Plaintiff's motions for pr eliminary injunctive relief -- i.e., [Doc. 6] and [Doc. 8] -- to Assistant Attorneys General Terrence M. O'Neill and Lynn D. Wittenbrink. On or before Monday, September 23, 2013, Defendant Decenzo shall file a response to these motions for prel iminary injunctive relief showing cause as to why such relief as requested should not be granted. On or before Friday, October 4, 2013, Plaintiff shall provide the Clerk with the full names and current mailing addresses for Defendants John Doe and N urse K. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), failure to comply with this Order will result in a dismissal of the claims against Defendants John Doe and Nurse K without further notice from the Court. Signed by Judge Charles S. Haight, Jr. on 9/9/13.(Hornstein, A)
