Chambets0f Vincent L. Briccetti teen enen ene renee nnn enna nn nn X Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, commenced this action on May 16, 2022. (Doc. #2). By Order dated November 21, 2022, the Court set out additional, relevant procedural history of the case. (Doc. #37). Further, by that Order, the Court: (i) required the White Plains Law Department (“WPLD”) to comply with certain directives by December 5, 2022; (ii) ordered plaintiff to file a third amended complaint by December 21, 2022; (iii) stayed plaintiff's deadline pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) to serve Officer Formoso; and (iv) stayed all parties’ time to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the second amended complaint and any cross-claims. On December 5, 2022, WPLD filed: (i) a letter summarizing WPLD’s efforts to comply with the Court’s Orders (Doc. #48); (ii) a letter stating WPLD will accept service for Police Officers Beall, Formoso, Schneider, and Vanderwalker at WPLD Corporation Counsel’s Office (Doc. #49), which also attached as exhibits the police records from plaintiff’s April 13, 2020 arrest (Doc. #49-1), and plaintiff’s April 3, 2020 arrest (Doc. #49-2); (ii) an affidavit of service stating WPLD served plaintiff with three letters from WPLD dated November 16, 2022, two letters from WPLD dated December 5, 2022, police records from plaintiff’s arrests dated April 3, 2020, and April 13, 2020, and WPLD’s notice of appearance (Doc. #50); (iv) a letter from WPLD
stating “upon review of the April 13, 2020 records this office has learned the names of 4 other police officers that were connected to [plaintiff’s] arrest on April 13, 2020. The City of White Plains will accept service for all White Plains Police Officers involved and specifically the following police officers named in the records: PO Levito; PO Dipaterio; PO Horgan; and PO Glynn” (Doc. #51); and (v) an affidavit of service stating WPLD served plaintiff with WPLD’s letter regarding the additional officers identified from his April 13, 2020, arrest records. (Doc. #52), WPLD previously ignored the Court’s Order dated May 20, 2022 (Doc. #6), even though that Order was mailed to WPLD and WPLD accepted service of process on behalf of the City on July 18, 2022 (Doc. #18), and WPLD was served with the second amended complaint and various Orders issued subsequently in this case. (Docs. ##21, 26). While the Court concludes WPLD has now complied with the Court’s Orders, WPLD has submitted numerous confusing and haphazard filings, which wastes the Court’s time and resources. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED: 1. Under the circumstances, plaintiff’s deadline to file a third amended complaint is extended to January 23, 2023. 2. In light of WPLD newly identifying additional officers involved in plaintiff’s arrests, the third amended complaint shall list the full names of all defendants, including White Plains Police Officers Beall, Dipaterio, Glynn, Horgan, Levito, and Schneider. Plaintiff shall utilize the third amended complaint form attached to this Order. The third amended complaint will completely replace, not merely supplement, the existing second amended complaint. Therefore, plaintiff must include in the third amended complaint all information necessary for his claims.
3, Because plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, he is entitled to rely on the Court and the U.S. Marshals Service to effect service. Pursuant to the Court’s Order dated November 21, 2022, once the Court receives and screens the third amended complaint, it will issue an appropriate order directing the Clerk of Court to issue summonses for the newly identified defendants and to deliver to the U.S. Marshals all materials necessary to effect service. To be clear, plaintiff does not need to do anything to effect service on defendants. 4, Plaintiff’s service deadline pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) is STAYED pending further Court Order. Once the Court receives the third amended complaint, it will seta service deadline pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 5. The time for all parties to answer, move, or otherwise respond to the second amended complaint and any cross-claims remains STAYED pending further Court Order. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Chambers will mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket. Dated: December 7, 2022 White Plains, NY SO ORDERED:

VII. PLAINTIFF’S CERTIFICATION AND WARNINGS By signing below, I certify to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief that: (1) the complaint is not being presented for an improper purpose (such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation); (2) the claims are supported by existing law or by anonfrivolous argument to change existing law; (3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and (4) the complaint otherwise complies with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. I understand that if I file three or more cases while I am a prisoner that are dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim, I may be denied in forma pauperis status in future cases. I also understand that prisoners must exhaust administrative procedures before filing an action in federal court about prison conditions, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), and that my case may be dismissed if I have not exhausted administrative remedies as required. I agree to provide the Clerk's Office with any changes to my address. I understand that my failure to keep a current address on file with the Clerk's Office may result in the dismissal of my case.
Each Plaintiff must sign and date the complaint. Attach additional pages if necessary. If seeking to proceed without prepayment of fees, each plaintiff must also submit an IFP application.
