ORDER INFORMING PLAINTIFF THAT

THE SUMMONS ISSUED ON JUNE 6,

2006, SHALL NOT BE SERVED UNTIL

FURTHER ORDER OF THE COURT (DOC.

3)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with an action for damages

and other relief concerning alleged civil rights violations which

was transferred to this Court on May 30, 2006. The matter has

been referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-304.

Plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.

The application has not been ruled on by the Court. Further, if

in forma pauperis status is granted, then before service will be

ordered, the complaint must be screened by the Court pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Therefore, service at this time of the

summons issued on June 6, 2006, would be inappropriate.

Plaintiff IS INFORMED AND DIRECTED that the summons issued

by the Court on June 6, 2006, SHALL NOT BE SERVED until a further

order of the Court directs service. The Court will proceed to

determine the application to proceed in forma pauperis in due

course; if the application is granted, then the Court will screen

the complaint and, when appropriate, will issue an order

directing service of the summons and complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
