ORDER that District Judge P. Kevin Castel has referred this case to me to conduct general pretrial supervision. This means that I will rule on pretrial scheduling and discovery, but any dispositive motions must be addressed to Judge Castel. By order dated 11/16/07, Judge Castel warned plaintiff that he must complete all action needed for formal service of the summons and amended complaint upon each defendant within 120 days after the filing of the initial complaint, i.e. by 3/17/08. As soon as any defendant has been served, plaintiff must write to me within 14 days to tell me which defendant has been served. As soon as plaintiff learns the name and address of any attorney who will represent any of the defendants, then plaintiff must call my Courtroom Deputy to schedule an Initial Case Management conference.

Order |

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).
