April 11, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 8 VALENTIN ORDER: Under Valentin v. Dinkins, a pro se litigant is entitled to assistance from the Court in identifying a defendant. 121 F.3d 72, 76 (2d Cir. 1997). In the Complaint, Plaintiff supplies sufficient information to permit the Corporation Counsel of the City of Mount Vernon to ascertain the full names of Officers Hutchinson and Martinez, and the identities of the three officers who were involved in the May 6, 2022, incident. It is therefore ordered that the Corporation Counsel of the City of Mount Vernon, which is the attorney for and agent of the Mount Vernon Police Department, must ascertain the identity and badge number of Officer Hutchinson, Officer Martinez, and the three John Does whom Plaintiff seeks to sue here and the address where Defendants may be served. The Corporation Counsel of the City of Mount Vernon must provide this information to Plaintiff and the Court within sixty days of the date of this Order. Within thirty days of receiving this information, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint naming the John Doe Defendants. The amended complaint will replace, not supplement, the original Complaint. An amended complaint form that Plaintiff should complete is attached to this Order. Once Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint, the Court will screen the amended complaint and, if necessary, issue an order directing the Clerk of Court to complete the USM-285 forms with the addresses for the named John Doe Defendants and deliver all documents necessary to effect service to the U.S. Marshals Service. The Clerk of Court is directed to: (1) mail a copy of this Order and the Complaint to the Corporation Counsel for the City of Mount Vernon, City Hall, 1 Roosevelt Square, Mount Vernon, NY 10550; and (2) mail an information package to Plaintiff. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 4/11/24) (yv) Transmission to Pro Se Assistants for processing.

March 22, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 2 STANDING ORDER M10-468: To ensure that all cases heard in the Southern District of New York are handled promptly and efficiently, all parties must keep the court apprised of any new contact information. It is a party's obligation to provide an address for service; service of court orders cannot be accomplished if a party does not update the court when a change of address occurs. Accordingly, all self-represented litigants are hereby ORDERED to inform the court of each change in their address or electronic contact information. Parties may consent to electronic service to receive notifications of court filings by email, rather than relying on regular mail delivery. Parties may also ask the court for permission to file documents electronically. Forms, including instructions for consenting to electronic service and requesting permission to file documents electronically, may be found by clicking on the hyperlinks in this order, or by accessing the forms on the court's website, nysd.uscourts.gov/forms. The procedures that follow apply only to cases filed by pro se plaintiffs. If the court receives notice from the United States Postal Service that an order has been returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order. Such order will be sent to the plaintiffs last known address and will also be viewable on the courts electronic docket. A notice directing the partys attention to this order shall be docketed (and mailed to any self-represented party that has appeared and has not consented to electronic service) upon the opening of each case or miscellaneous matter that is classified as pro se in the court's records. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/18/2024) (sac)
