Case No. 2:25-cv-00154
District Judge James L. Graham
Magistrate Judge Caroline H. Gentry
ORDER STRIKING MOTION
Plaintiff Williams recently filed a “Motion for an Order Clarifying Debt
Collection Under 28 U.S.C. §1915(B)(2) to Cashiers Office Collecting Funds.” (Doc.
No. 28.) The motion is very similar to Plaintiff’s previous “Motion to [Request] an
Order Specifying Requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(B)(2) to Cashiers Office
Collecting Funds,” which he filed on February 4, 2026. (Doc. No. 26.) The Court
denied the previous motion on February 17, 2026. (Doc. No. 27.) A second copy of the
February 17 Order was mailed to Plaintiff, at his request, on March 5, 2026.
The instant motion was filed the next day, via email from the institution where
Plaintiff resides. (See Doc. No. 28 at PageID 297.) However, Plaintiff failed, for at least
the third time, to properly serve all Defendants with his filing. (See Doc. No. 28 at
PageID 300 [indicating in the Certificate of Service that the Clerk’s Office and counsel
were served].) The Court previously informed Plaintiff that he was required to serve all

2
Defendants, including the pro se Defendants, and could not do so by serving counsel
that had only appeared for two Defendants. (See Doc. No. 25 at PageID 276-278; Doc.
No. 27 at PageID 295-296.) The Court also warned Plaintiff “that the Court may strike
and disregard any document that has not been served on Defendants in accordance with
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and this Court’s Local Rules.” (Doc. No. 25 at
PageID 295-296.)
The Court will do so here, as Plaintiff has made no effort to modify his service
practices after two warnings. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to STRIKE Plaintiff’s
new motion from the record and to RESTRICT it to Court access only. (Doc. No. 28.)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
