Mr. Knowitall
If you're neck-deep in a civil rights case, have been litigating for two years, and still haven't figured out the proper parties, you need a lot more help than we can offer. Also, your question isn't a simple "How do I amend my complaint" - two years into your litigation and an unknown number of years since the alleged incident, you potentially implicate new claims, new statute of limitations defenses, and a host of other complications, with our having no context, no access to the case file, and no knowledge of the procedural history or status of the case. For a case to have been lingering in federal court for two years, one would have to believe that a judge or magistrate is itching to get it off the docket. Realistically speaking, you should retain the lawyer you have been working with to represent you.
