Plaintiff, ORDER DIRECTING FURTHER SERVICE

vs. BY THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL

WITHOUT PREPAYMENT OF COSTS

P. SCHULTZ, et al.,

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

APPLICATION FOR A DATE CERTAIN TO

Defendants. RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT

 / (Doc. 16)

Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. The court

previously ordered plaintiff to provide information for service of process on form USM-285,

sufficient copies of the complaint for service, and a notice of compliance. Plaintiff filed the

required papers. 

On December 1, 2006, the court issued an order for the United States Marshal to

serve process upon federal defendants in this action. However, the court’s order failed to specify

service upon the United States as required by Rule 4(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

Therefore, the court shall order further service in this action by the United States Marshal
