v.

Defendants.

ORDER 

 On March 5, 2014, plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis was granted; the 

Clerk of the Court was directed to serve documents plaintiff with one USM-285 form for each 

defendant, one summons, a copy of the complaint, an appropriate form for consent to trial by a 

magistrate judge, and this court’s status order; and plaintiff was directed to submit documents 

necessary for service to the United States Marshal within 15 days from the date of the order. 

Presently pending before the court is plaintiff’s April 3, 2014 motion for extension of time 

to complete service. ECF No. 8. Review of plaintiff’s motion reveals that the Clerk’s Office 

inadvertently failed to send plaintiff the documents necessary for service, an error that was 

corrected by the Clerk of the Court on April 8, 2014. See ECF No. 9. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

 2. The U.S. Marshal is directed to serve within ninety days of the date of this order, all

order, without prepayment of costs. 

 3. Plaintiff is directed to supply the U.S. Marshal, within 15 days from the date this order 

is filed, all information needed by the Marshal to effect service of process, and shall file a

service on any defendant within 90 days from the date of this order, the Marshal is directed to

 5. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this amended service order on the 

U.S. Marshal, 501 “I” Street, Sacramento, Ca., 95814, Tel. No. (916) 930-2030.
