UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOMINIC MILANO,

Plaintiff,

v.

DUNCAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:22-cv-00071-JDP (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

SUBMIT TO THE COURT COMPLETED 

USM-285 FORMS FOR ALL DEFENDANTS

Plaintiff, a county inmate proceeding without counsel, filed this civil rights action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 25, 2022, the court ordered plaintiff to complete and return to the 

court, within thirty days, four copies of his complaint, a completed summons, and a USM-285 

form for each defendant, without which the U.S. Marshal cannot effect service on defendants. On

May 11, 2022, plaintiff submitted the USM-285 forms and copies of the summons. However, the

USM-285 forms do not provide an address for each defendant.

1

 Without that information, the 

U.S. Marshal is unable to serve defendants with a copy of the summons and complaint. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:

1 Plaintiff also did not submit the requisite copies of the operative complaint. He did, 

however, file a motion asking that the court provide him copies of the complaint. ECF No. 10. 

He explains that he does not have access to a copy machine at the county jail where he is 

incarcerated. Id. Plaintiff’s motion will be granted. He is cautioned that in the future, copies will 

only be provided upon receipt of the required copying fee.

1. Plaintiff’s motion for copies, ECF No. 10, is granted. Upon receipt of the completed 

USM-285 forms, the court will provide copies of the operative complaint to the U.S. Marshal. 

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to send plaintiff three USM-285 forms.

3. Within thirty days, plaintiff shall submit to the court a completed USM-285 form for 

each defendant.

4. Failure to return the copies within the specified time period can result in a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
