ORDER Plaintiff, who is proceeding without a lawyer, is invited to contact the Pro Se Clerks Office located in Room 230, U.S. 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007. The Pro Se Clerks Office has useful information for self-represented parties. This Order is notice to plaintiff that if service is not made within 120 day period and that period has not been extended upon a written request by plaintiff, then the lawsuit will be dismissed as to the party or parties not served. Dismissal means that the lawsuit will be over and the plaintiff will recover nothing. A plaintiff, who is relying upon service of process by the United States Marshal, has a duty to provide information sufficient to identify and locate each defendant. Further, a plaintiff who has not received confirmation from the Unites States Marshal that service has been made, has a duty to inquire further, for example, by checking the dockets sheet and taking steps to ensure that timely service is made. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 11/16/2007) Copies Mailed By Chambers.(jmi) Modified on 12/3/2007 (jmi).
