UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAGI MUKATIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. HESSELTINE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00324-AWI-SMS-P

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

FOR USM-285 FORMS AS PREMATURE

(Doc. 9)

Plaintiff Sagi Mukatin (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 22, 2005, plaintiff filed a

request seeking the issuance of USM-285 forms. 

Plaintiff is directed to review paragraph twelve of the First Informational Order, filed April

14, 2005. As set forth in the order, plaintiff’s complaint will be served only after a finding is made

that it states cognizable claims for relief. Plaintiff will not be provided with summonses and USM285 forms until service of the complaint is deemed appropriate by the court. 

In this instance, in a separate order issued concurrently with this order, the court found that

some, but not all, of the claims set forth in the complaint are cognizable. Plaintiff may either file an

amended complaint or agree to proceed only on the claims found to be cognizable by the court. If

plaintiff chooses to proceed only on his cognizable claims, the court will at that time provide plaintiff

with summonses and USM-285 forms.
