additional service of summons, complaint, and USM-285 form, filed

on August 11, 2008. 

On July 8, 2008, service was ordered of Plaintiff’s first

amended complaint (FAC). Waivers of service have been filed with

respect to various defendants.

Plaintiff’s request was prompted by the discovery that UCSFFresno, and the California Department of Public Health, Office of

Civil rights are two separate entities. Plaintiff states that he

has the necessary information to complete the USM-285 form, and

he has copies of the summons and complaint for CDPH.

Both UCSF Fresno and the CDPH, Office of Civil Rights, are

described in the FAC. (FAC at ¶¶ 13-14.)

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request for additional service of

the summons, complaint, and completion of pertinent USM-285 forms

IS GRANTED. 

The Clerk IS DIRECTED to send to Plaintiff one USM-285 form, 

an instruction sheet, and a notice of submission of documents

form. 

Within fifteen days from the date of service of this order,

Plaintiff shall complete the notice of submission of documents

and submit the completed notice to the Court with a completed

summons, one USM-285 form for the additional Defendant, and one

copy of the endorsed FAC filed in this Court on May 12, 2008. 

Upon receipt of the documents described above, the Clerk of

the Court SHALL FORWARD them to the United States Marshal, who in

turn SHALL SERVE the above-named defendant pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 4 without payment of costs.

Plaintiff need not attempt service on defendants and need
