Re: Neil Gillespie v. Thirteenth Judicial Circuit et al.
Appeal#12-11028-B
YourletterdatedMay3,2012
DearMr. Gillespie:
Thank you for your letter ofMay 3, 2012 addressed to Attorney General Bondi. You
have asked the question ofwhether or not the Florida Attorney General represents the
ThirteenthCircuitin yourappealbearingdocketnumber12-11028-B. Ourofficehasnot
filed anappearanceonbehalfofanyof thedefendantsinthismatter.
I can see by looking at the docket in the U.S.D.C. - Middle District ofFlorida, your
initial complaint was dismissed for, among other reasons, failure to make service of
process on any ofthe defendants. Since that is the Order ofthe Court the Attorney
General'sOfficewouldnotbecomeinvolvedatthisstageoftheproceedingsin anycase.
Ihopethisanswersyourquestion.

4. Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons [AO 399 (01/09)]
Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving
unnecessary expenses of serving a summons and complaint. A defendant who is located in the
United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff located
in the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows
good cause for the failure.
Good cause does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought
in an improper venue, or that the court has no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant
or the defendants property.
If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and
objections, but you cannot object to the absence of a summons or of service.
If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an
answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the plaintiff and file a copy with the court. By signing and
returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been
served.

As to your public record request for a copy of your ADA form as it exists today,
the bottom portion of the form titled Administrative Office Of The Court Use
Only remains unchanged. There is no documentation on the form showing what
action was taken on your request. I presume you dont need us to send back to you
what you already have. I dont know why the form was not notated but you are
certainly aware of how the Thirteenth Circuit responded to your request. I
responded to you with a letter attached to an e-mail on J uly 9, 2010. Im attaching
that letter again to this message.

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary expenses of serving a summons
and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff located in
the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure.
Good cause does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has
no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendants property.
If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of
a summons or of service.
If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the plaintiff
and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been served.

Why are you getting this?
A lawsuit has been filed against you, or the entity you represent, in this court under the number shown above.
A copy of the complaint is attached.
This is not a summons, or an official notice from the court. It is a request that, to avoid expenses, you waive formal
service of a summons by signing and returning the enclosed waiver. To avoid these expenses, you must return the signed
waiver within days (give at least 30 days, or at least 60 days ifthe defendant is outside any judicial district ofthe United States)
from the date shown below, which is the date this notice was sent. Two copies ofthe waiver form are enclosed, along with
a stamped, self-addressed envelope or other prepaid means for returning one copy. You may keep the other copy.
What happens next?
If you return the signed waiver, I will file it with the court. The action will then proceed as if you had been served
on the date the waiver is filed, but no summons will be served on you and you will have 60 days from the date this notice
is sent (see the date below) to answer the complaint (or 90 days ifthis notice is sent to you outside any judicial district of
the United States).
If you do not return the signed waiver within the time indicated, I will arrange to have the summons and complaint
served on you. And I will ask the court to require you, or the entity you represent, to pay the expenses of making service.
Please read the enclosed statement about the duty to avoid unnecessary expenses.
I certify that this request is being sent to you on the date below.

Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons
Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary expenses of serving a summons
and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff located in
the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure.
Good cause does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has
no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendants property.
If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of
a summons or of service.
If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the plaintiff
and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been served.

must extend the time for service for an appropriate period. This subdivision (m) does not
apply to service in a foreign country under Rule 4(f) or 4(j)(1).

Summons and Complaint
Summons: Civil summons is a written notification to a party named in a lawsuit directing the
party to appear and defend or answer before the issuing court prior to a specified time. Failure to
appear or answer may allow judgment to be entered against the non-responsive party in favor of
the plaintiff.
Complaint: A complaint is a statement of the jurisdiction of the court, the allegations constituting
the cause of action, and a demand for judgment. This is the first or initial pleading on the part of
the plaintiff.
Territorial Limits: Service of a summons and complaint may be effected within any judicial
district in the United States subject to constitutional and statutory restraints.
Issued By: Upon presentation by the plaintiff, the summons is signed by the clerk of the court and
issued to the plaintiff.
Served By: The summons and complaint may be served by any person who is not a party and is at
least 18 years old. Service is effected by the U.S. Marshal only when specifically ordered by the
court. In general, such court-ordered service will be limited to cases where the plaintiff is
authorized by the court to proceed in forma pauperis, under 28 USC 1915, or as a seaman, under
28 USC 1916. However, in any case, the court has discretion to order service by the U.S. Marshal.
Service in Cases Brought by the United States: When the party seeking service is the United
States, the U.S. Marshal is no longer required to effect service. The United States, like other civil
litigants, is expected to use individuals who are at least 18 years old and not parties to serve its
summons and complaints. Because service by the U.S. Marshal may continue to be appropriate in
certain cases, the Marshal will normally consult with the U.S. attorney about whether the former
should continue to effect service of a summons and complaint on behalf of the United States.
Waiver of Service: It is the responsibility of the defendant to avoid the unnecessary costs of
serving a summons and complaint; therefore, he or she may waive formal service of process by the
plaintiff. If the defendant fails to waive formal service, he or she may have to pay the costs of
obtaining formal service of process on him or her.
For a waiver, the plaintiff must send to the defendant two copies of a Notice of Lawsuit and Request
for Waiver of Service of Summons form along with a copy of a Waiver of Summons form, the
complaint, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of the Waiver of Summons. The
plaintiff may obtain the forms from the clerk of the court and may send the notice of waiver,
request for waiver form, and complaint to the defendant by any reliable means, including mail,
messenger or fax. The defendant is allowed a reasonable time to return the waiverat least 30
days from the date on which the request for waiver is sent. If the defendant returns the waiver in a
timely fashion (within 30 days if addressed within the United States, 60 days if addressed abroad),
he or she is not required to answer the complaint until 60 days (90 days if addressed abroad) after
the date on which the plaintiff sent the request for waiver and complaint. If the defendant waives
service of a summons, he or she still preserves the right to object to venue or personal jurisdiction.
If the defendant fails to return the request for waiver in a timely fashion, the plaintiff must request
the issuance of a summons and effect formal service on the defendant. The costs incurred in
effecting formal service will be charged to the defendant unless the defendant demonstrates good
cause for his or her failure to waive service. The waiver provision does not apply to several classes
of defendants, and these defendants are not expected to waive service of a summons. The
defendants are infants and incompetent persons; foreign, state and local governments; and the
United States, its agencies, corporations and officers. Consequently, these defendants must be
served with the summons and complaint.

asked, but go ahead.

1 District and the Northern District?
2 DEPUTY DEVALL: Okay. Let's start from there.
3 Have you already filed the case with the District
4 Court?
MR. GILLESPIE: I filed a case a couple of
6 years ago. Okay. But I don't have any case
7 pending. When I filed my case several years ago I
8 asked about this at the --
9 DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, I'm going to explain
it
11 MR. GILLESPIE: Clerks Office.
12 DEPUTY DEVALL: to you. I'm just trying to
13 take it one step at a time.
14 MR. GILLESPIE: Okay. Well, I'm giving you
some background. I was told that you don't serve
16 it. Then while looking on some Federal statutes --
17 DEPUTY DEVALL: No, it's --
18 MR. GILLESPIE: in the last couple weeks, I
19 found that you do serve it, so there's a conflict
here.
21 DEPUTY DEVALL: If there is a Federal case
22 pending, once you go ahead and go to -- I'm
23 assuming you would go to the District Court up in
24 Ocala?
MR. GILLESPIE: I'm not sure how that's going

1 to go.
2 DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, no, what I'm saying,
3 though, is you would go to the district -- to file
4 your case you would go -- likely go -- according to
I guess your address,
6 Florida.
7 MR. GILLESPIE:
8 Ocala Division.
9 DEPUTY DEVALL:
District of Florida,
you live up in Ocala,
I'm in the jurisdiction of the
That would be the Middle
the Ocala Division. So that's
11 correct, it's still Middle District of Florida.
12 I'm just saying that that is the office that you
13 would go to.
14 MR. GILLESPIE: The Ocala Division.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Correct.
16 MR. GILLESPIE: Here's the problem with the
17 Ocala Division; there's no Federal Judge there.
18 Okay.
19 DEPUTY DEVALL: There's still a Clerks Office
and you should still be able to file your suit
21 there through the Clerks Office.
22 MR. GILLESPIE: Well, that's -- technically,
23 that's true. But the case is not going to be

which I would be happy to go into, but it's really

1 not answering my question of how I hire the Marshal
2 Service.
3 DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, Mr. Gillespie, without
4 an open case you can't get us to serve anything.
Once you -- here's how it works; once you go
6 through the Clerks Office there and open your
7 case
8 MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh.
9 DEPUTY DEVALL: -- they will go ahead and
either you can also file paperwork declaring
11 indigency or not. The Magistrate Judge up there
12 will either approve that or not. Let's say for a
13 second, just for example purposes, that he does
14 not. The way that you do this is once your case is
opened up you would get the summons and the
16 complaint for each entity that you want served.
17 MR. GILLESPIE: Right.
18 DEPUTY DEVALL: Let's say there's -- and
19 again, I'm just using this as an example, I don't
know specifically how many you have. But let's
21 just say for example purposes that you have three
22 entities that you want served. You would get three
23 copies of the summons, three copies of the
24 complaint. You would get nine copies of our
USM-285. That's our proof of service document.

You would need three copies for each entity that

MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Once you get all those
together and you got the summons from the Court
that's got the, you know, the clerk's seal and
everything on it, on each of the summons.
MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh.
DEPUTY DEVALL: You would take that to the
Marshals Office.
MR. GILLESPIE: Where is the Marshal's Office?
DEPUTY DEVALL: There is one up there in the
Ocala Division.
MR. GILLESPIE: There is?
DEPUTY DEVALL: Yes.
MR. GILLESPIE: Because I wrote to them last
year and they never responded.
DEPUTY DEVALL: I can't speak to that, I'm not
up -- I'm down in the Tampa Office.
MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh.
DEPUTY DEVALL: So I can't speak to what was
going on up there. See, the first hurdle you have
to get over is getting the Clerks Office and
getting your case filed. If you can't get a case
filed with the Clerks Office, then there is nothing

to bring the Marshals. But let me get past that
for a second, back to what I said. Once, if
your -- once your case gets filed, like I said, you
bring three copies of the summons and the complaint
to the U.s. Marshals, and you also bring a deposit
check. Okay?
MR. GILLESPIE: How much?
DEPUTY DEVALL: It depends. If it's -- the
stuff is local, and it's not to be mailed, then
it's generally $55 per deputy per hour, plus round
trip mileage. Anything that has to be mailed is $8
per item mailed.
MR. GILLESPIE: Okay. Because the thing's in
the Middle District, it's going to be in Tampa.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Then you would probably
MR. GILLESPIE: Or the Tampa suburbs.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Then you would probably you
could probably submit the paperwork down to my
office here in Tampa.
MR. GILLESPIE: And the things in the Northern
District, it's going to be in Gainesville
DEPUTY DEVALL: Right, but here's --
MR. GILLESPIE: -- and Tallahassee.
DEPUTY DEVALL: All right. But listen to me,
here's the thing, here's how this works. And I

have to explain this to attorneys, too, because
2 sometimes they don't get it either.
3 MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh.
4 DEPUTY DEVALL: Your -- if your case, since
it's filed in the Middle District, you still send
6 the paperwork, even if it's to be served in
7 northern Florida, you would still send that
8 paperwork to my office.
9 MR. GILLESPIE: Right. And then you would
forward it.
11 DEPUTY DEVALL: And then I would forward it to
12 the other office and have them serve it.
13 MR. GILLESPIE: Okay. Got it. So here is the
14 problem. I filed a Federal lawsuit September 28 of
2010. I was told by the Clerk in Ocala that the
16 Marshal does not, and cannot, and will not serve a
17 s u o s ~ So I didn't pursue it further at that
18 point.
19 Now I find out from reading the Federal
statute that that office lied to me. Okay. That,
21 you know, was a problem with the case.
22 DEPUTY DEVALL: All right. Mr. Gillespie, I
23 have no knowledge of that. I don't know what or
24 who you spoke to or what this was regarding.
MR. GILLESPIE: Mary Jo Taylor.

Again, I don't know anything
That's fine. I'm just giving
Okay. I'm trying to
Because I'm going to take your
7 information and I'm going to take it and put it all
8 together, it's going to go to the U.S. Attorney and
9 maybe they can sort it out. I'm just gathering
information now. Because I'm not going to file
11 another lawsuit until I know exactly, you know,
12 what has to be done. And I can't rely on what
13 people say in the Clerks Office because they're
14 trying to protect their crony buddies.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, here's the thing,
16 Mr. Gillespie, you got to understand first that you
17 have to get a case filed first before you can even
18 corne to the Marshals with something to serve.
19 MR. GILLESPIE: Yes, I know that.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Okay. As long as you
21 understand that.
22 MR. GILLESPIE: But before I file the case I
23 want to know what the procedure is.

24 DEPUTY DEVALL: And I understand.
MR. GILLESPIE: I don't want to file

a case

10

1 and then spend two or three or four months trying
2 to figure out what to do. I want to have that
3 information in advance, so when the case is filed I
4 know exactly what to do from that point forward.
That is why I am calling you. Sorry for any
6 confusion.
7 DEPUTY DEVALL: No, no, no, like I said, if I
8 can answer your questions on how the Marshal
9 Service serves things, I have no problem answering
those questions for you.
11 MR. GILLESPIE: I believe this could also be
12 served by a private service -- server, process
13 server, and I did contact some of them, but --
14 DEPUTY DEVALL: As far as I know I believe
that's correct. As long as they're -- as long as I
16 think they're of age, I believe that's correct, it
17 sounds right.
18 MR. GILLESPIE: But I'm getting a lot of
19 pushback, you know, on this issue. I had assumed
that the U.S. Marshal Service would be more
21 professional and a better use to get effective
22 service, but I am getting the kind of pushback that
23 would indicate that might be -- that might not be
24 accurate.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, sir, I disagree. I
Michael J. Borseth
Court Reporter/Legal Transcription
(813) 598-2703
5
10
15
20
25
1
12
don't believe that's the case. I believe what
2 there is that there is probably confusion about
3 what exactly what it is that you're asking for.
4 MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh.
DEPUTY DEVALL: And I think -- and I think
6 part of the confusion is the fact that they're
7 wondering whether or not you have a pending case.
8 And if you've got a pending case, then we should be
9 able to go forward with that. And if not, then,
then probably what they're saying is they're
11 probably saying that they can't help you because
12 you don't have a case. Once you have your case
13 filed, then we can go forward with, you know, I
14 guess you're going to the Clerks Office to get the
summons and complaint issued to have us serve
16 those.
17 MR. GILLESPIE: Yeah, but the thing is, I'm
18 not asking for help or action, I'm asking for
19 information.
DEPUTY DEVALL: No, I understand that.
21 MR. GILLESPIE: Okay. So that doesn't that
22 should not -- your information should not turn on
23 whether I actually have a case filed or not.
24 DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, actually, yes, sir, it
does. Because what you're asking is how do you go

1 about hiring the Marshal Service to serve these
2 documents and that's what I am explaining.
3 MR. GILLESPIE: Okay. Well, maybe I phrased
4 it wrong. I want information on how to do this.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Okay. No, and, you know,
6 that's fine, I don't have a problem answering that
7 and that's what I just explained to you is kind of
8 how the process works, at least as far as the
9 Marshal Service is concerned.
MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh. Okay. Can I get any
11 kind of response in writing?
12 DEPUTY DEVALL: No, sir, I don't give
13 responses in writing, that's why I'm calling you
14 right now so I can explain to you how that method
works.
16 I just had a lady from Sarasota that called me
17 several times asking a very similar process,
18 although her's was all mail. If you have any
19 questions on what to do, I mean, I can't give you
legal advice, I'm not an attorney, but if it just
21 comes to having stuff served, by all means, I can
22 give you my desk number and feel free to call me.
23 MR. GILLESPIE: All right. Because these
24 defendants are going to -- they're going to be hard

8 these aren't subpoenas that you're getting, so that

then, because I can't speak to the legal aspect of

12 summons issued by the Clerks court for Judges.

14 other officials, like an ADA Coordinator and a
General Counsel --
16 DEPUTY DEVALL: Okay.
17 MR. GILLESPIE: -- down In the Thirteenth
18 Circuit.
19 DEPUTY DEVALL: Again, for stuff like that you
will probably need to speak to an attorney to see
21 how that works.

23 attorneys. Okay. That is not the answer.

1 service, I have explained to you how that works.
2 MR. GILLESPIE: Okay.
3 DEPUTY DEVALL: But when it comes to certain
4 legal aspects of it, you're going to need to speak
to an attorney because I'm not an attorney, and I
6 can't give you legal advice.
7 MR. GILLESPIE: So are you saying that you're
8 not able to serve Judges, you know, State Court
9 Judges?
DEPUTY DEVALL: I'm saying that if you get the
11 case filed and you can get the summons and the
12 complaints issued, we can serve them.
13 MR. GILLESPIE: Yeah. Well, getting the
14 summons issued, that's another problem people have.
DEPUTY DEVALL: Well, sir, that is something
16 that you're going to need to take up with the
17 Clerks Office.
18 MR. GILLESPIE: Uh-huh. Okay. Well, I
19 appreciate your information.
DEPUTY DEVALL: You're welcome, Mr. Gillespie.
21 MR. GILLESPIE: Thank you.

Mullerin v Hayter alleges a Florida state court operated as a corrupt RICO enterprise. The
Plaintiff alleged a Florida court deprived her of rights under 42 U.S.C. 1983 through a pattern of
racketeering activity to benefit a local attorney and law firm that used the court for asset
stripping - to obtain fraudulent court orders requiring money or property to be transferred from
the true owners - persons targeted by the enterprise - to the law firm and its clients. The suit
alleges the Alachua County Florida court was not operated in an effective and expeditious
manner for which it was created by statute - but as a corrupt RICO enterprise for the private
benefit of the law firm and its clients. This case also shows the District Clerk would not issue
summons in a lawsuit against Florida judges. A composite of documents is posted on Scribd:

Plaintiff alleges violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act
(RICO), 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968 and of her civil rights under 42 U.S.C. 1983. Plaintiffs
claims stem from state civil court proceedings involving a dispute with her landlord. She
contends that her landlord and her landlords attorney violated RICO by using the courts to strip
Plaintiff of her assets and that the attorney, three state court judges, and a judicial assistant

GAINESVILLE DIVISION
SONJA MULLERIN,
Plaintiff,
v. CASE NO. 1:12-cv-190-SPM-GRJ
JOHN HAYTER, et al.,
Defendants.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Motion for Order Directing Issuance
of Summonses (Doc. 19). Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has also written a letter to the
Court regarding her case. (Doc. 20).
Plaintiff alleges violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organization Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968 and of her civil rights under 42
U.S.C. 1983. Plaintiffs claims stem from state civil court proceedings involving a
dispute with her landlord. She contends that her landlord and her landlords attorney
violated RICO by using the courts to strip Plaintiff of her assets and that the attorney,
three state court judges, and a judicial assistant conspired to obstruct justice and violate
Plaintiffs civil rights. The state court proceedings were pending at the time Plaintiff filed
her complaint. Plaintiff requests damages, permanent injunctive relief, and attorneys
fees. (Doc. 16.)
Plaintiff was previously denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Docs. 14, 17)
and subsequently paid the full filing fee (Doc. 15). In her Motion for Order Directing
Issuance of Summonses (Doc. 19), Plaintiff advises the Court that she asked the Clerk
Case 1:12-cv-00190-SPM-GRJ Document 21 Filed 01/15/13 Page 1 of 3
Page 2 of 3
to issue summonsesthough she did not present the Clerk with completed summons
formsand the Clerk refused, telling Plaintiff she would need a court order to proceed
with service. Plaintiff requests the Court to issue an order directing the Clerk to issue
summonses for defendants in this case. Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff wrote a letter
addressed to the District Judge explaining that her only remedy would be to go to the
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals with a request for mandamus, but she would be
agreeable to voluntarily dismissing her case if the Court refunded her $350.00 filing fee.
(Doc. 20).
Plaintiff is advised that she may voluntarily dismiss the instant action pursuant to
Rule 41(a)(1). Such a dismissal could be effected without order of the court and would
be without prejudice. However, Plaintiff would not be entitled to a refund of her $350.00
filing fee. Plaintiff is also concerned that a voluntarily dismissal of this case would be
considered a previous dismissal under Rule 41 if she should initiate the suit in the
future and attempt to voluntarily dismiss that suit. Pursuant to Rule 41, that would be
the effect and a second voluntary dismissal of the same claims would operate as an
adjudication on the merits. Voluntary dismissal of the instant case would be without
prejudice and would not be considered an adjudication on the merits.
Given this clarification, Plaintiff will be given 14 days to advise the Court whether
she wishes to pursue this case or file a notice of voluntary dismissal. Meanwhile, a
1
ruling on Plaintiffs motion to direct issuance of summonses will be deferred.
Upon due consideration, it is ORDERED:
If Plaintiff wishes to pursue this case, before summonses will be issued the Court will address
1
whether this case should be dismissed in its entirety for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to
state a claim.

_____________________________/
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Notice of Dismissal. (Doc. 22.)
Pursuant to the Courts January 15, 2013 Order (Doc. 21) directing Plaintiff to advise
the Court of whether Plaintiff intends to pursue this case or file a notice of voluntary
dismissal, Plaintiff has filed a Notice of Dismissal providing notice that the case is
dismissed. Although Plaintiff characterizes the dismissal as an involuntary dismissal the
dismissal constitutes a voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure. Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A) a plaintiff may dismiss an action
without court order by filing: (I) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves
either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. The Rule provides that the
dismissal is without prejudice. The notice of dismissal is self-executing without further
court action.
Accordingly, this case is dismissed without prejudice and the Clerk is directed to
Case 1:12-cv-00190-SPM-GRJ Document 23 Filed 03/04/13 Page 1 of 2
