Is this used correctly:

The paralegal calls me to do such and such.

Can this be said?

Yes, but you need a context which suggests that 'such and such' is some trivial matter.

You also need a context in which it makes sense to use Simple Present tense,
eg Are you talking about something that happens every day?

Basically they call me to update me and to tell me what I have to do.
