June 15, 2022 Filing 18 SUMMONS Returned Executed by Jimel Frank. All Defendants. (Attachments: #1 Marshal Return, #2 Marshal Return)(Williams, John)
June 2, 2022 Filing 16 NOTICE. The Court notes for the record that, on June 1, 2022, chambers received a phone call from an attorney at the Civil Division of the United States Attorney's Office concerning this case. The caller indicated that the United States Attorney's Office may file a request for a status conference in this matter to discuss the issues of the named defendants in this action and service of the complaint/amended complaint and summons on appropriate parties. The caller asserted that the appropriate defendant in this action is the United States of America, not the relevant federal agency, but the complaint must still be served on the relevant federal agency. The Court notes that no counsel from the United States Attorney's Office has entered an appearance in this matter to date. To the extent that a status conference or other relief from the Court is necessary to cure any deficiencies with items on the docket, the Court will entertain any motions filed by counsel for a party. Signed by Judge Sarala V. Nagala on 06/02/2022. (Kuegler, Adam)

June 1, 2022 Filing 17 AMENDED COMPLAINT against USA, United States Bureau of Prisons, filed by Jimel Frank. Docketed per 14 Order.(Bozek, M.)
June 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER finding as moot #13 Motion to Amend Complaint. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B), if a pleading "is one to which a responsive pleading is required," a party may amend the pleading once as a matter of course, "within... 21 days after service of a responsive pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is earlier." Because no responsive pleading or motion pursuant to Rule 12(b), (e), or (f) has been filed with respect to Plaintiff's complaint, Plaintiff may amend his complaint once as a matter of course without the Court's leave. Accordingly, because Plaintiff's motion is unnecessary, it is denied as moot. The Clerk is directed to docket the proposed amended complaint at ECF No. 13-1 as Plaintiff's amended complaint. Signed by Judge Sarala V. Nagala on 06/01/2022. (Kuegler, Adam)
