UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Dennis Curtis Hisle is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for the United States Marshal to serve the 

summons and complaint on Defendant Mushtaq Ahmed, filed January 21, 2020. (ECF No. 102.) 

Plaintiff seeks the service documents in order to serve the summons and complaint on Defendant 

Ahmed. Plaintiff is advised that July 18, 2019, the Court ordered the complaint and summons be 

electronically served on Defendant Mushtaq Ahmed, which required no action on the part of Plaintiff. 

(ECF No. 80.)1 On September 5, 2019, Defendant Ahmed waived service of the summons and 

 

1 As stated in the Court’s July 18, 2019, order, “‘E-service’ means that instead of having plaintiffs fill out service 

paperwork for the United States Marshal to mail to the defendants or through personal service, the Court will provide 

paperwork regarding the defendants electronically to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) 

and the California Attorney’s General’s Office, each of which has agreed to participate in this program.” (ECF No. 90 at 

2.)
