On January 19, 2016, Plaintiff Andrew Dupree (“Dupree”) brought suit against Defendants

On January 22, 2016, U.S. Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd granted Dupree’s motions for 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and for permission for electronic case filing. ECF No. 7. 

However, Judge Lloyd’s January 22, 2016 Order did not instruct the Clerk of the Court to issue a

United States District Court

Northern District of California

Lloyd’s January 22, 2016 Order upon Defendants. Accordingly, it appears that a summons was 

not issued, and Defendants have not yet been served. 

On February 3, 2016, Dupree declined magistrate judge jurisdiction, and on February 8, 

2016, the instant action was reassigned from Judge Lloyd to the undersigned. ECF No. 10. On 

February 23, 2016, the following filings, which were sent to the mailing address listed on 

Dupree’s complaint, were returned as undeliverable: (1) Judge Lloyd’s January 22, 2016 Order; 

(2) a February 5, 2016 Clerk’s Notice of Impending Reassignment; and (3) the February 8, 2016 

Order Reassigning this Action to the Undersigned. See ECF Nos. 11, 13 & 14. On March 3, 

2016, Dupree filed a notice of change of address. ECF No. 15. Accordingly, it appears that 

Dupree has not been informed that his motions for in forma pauperis and electronic case filing 

were granted and that the initial case management conference, which was scheduled via an 

electronic clerk’s notice, ECF No. 11, is currently set for March 23, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. 

In light of these circumstances, the Court hereby ORDERS the Clerk of the Court to issue 

a summons and ORDERS the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of California to serve, 

without prepayment of fees, a copy of the complaint, any amendments, scheduling orders, 

attachments, Plaintiff’s affidavit, Judge Lloyd’s January 22, 2016 Order, and the instant order 

upon Defendants. The Court also ORDERS the Clerk of the Court to deliver to Dupree, via both 

postal mail and email: (1) Judge Lloyd’s January 22, 2016 Order; (2) the February 5, 2016

Clerk’s Notice of Impending Reassignment; (3) the February 8, 2016 Order Reassigning this 

Action to the Undersigned; and (4) the Instant Order. Finally, the initial case management 

conference, currently set for March 23, 2016, at 2:00 p.m., is hereby CONTINUED to April 27, 

2016, at 2:00 p.m. The parties shall file their joint case management statement by April 20, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 17, 2016
