UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRENT ADLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

FERNANDO GONZALEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-01867-SKO (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO 

RETURN SERVICE DOCUMENTS TO 

PLAINTIFF

Plaintiff Brent Adler, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on November 18, 2013. On February 19, 2014, the Clerk’s 

Office received USM-285 forms, summonses, and complaint copies from Plaintiff. 

Plaintiff is entitled to rely on the United States Marshal to serve his complaint, but the 

Court has not yet screened Plaintiff’s complaint and determined that service of process is 

appropriate. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), (e)(2). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s submission of service 

documents is premature and the Clerk’s Office is HEREBY DIRECTED to return the documents 

to Plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 3, 2014 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto
