UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE LEE,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. GROUNDS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 14-cv-0464 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 18, 2014, the court granted plaintiff thirty days to submit 

completed USM-285 forms for defendants Garay, Sturcho and Ashley. (ECF No. 19.) Thirty 

days passed and plaintiff did not submit the 3 completed USM-285 forms. Accordingly, on 

August 27, 2014, the undersigned recommended that this action be dismissed. (ECF No. 22.)

On September 8, 2014, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations. 

(ECF No. 23.) Plaintiff alleges that he sent his completed USM-285 forms directly to the U.S. 

Marshal. The U.S. Marshal’s office has informed the court that there is no record of that office 

having received the forms from plaintiff. 

Good cause appearing, the August 27, 2014 findings and recommendations are vacated. 

Plaintiff will be granted another opportunity to complete and return the USM-285 forms to the 

court. Plaintiff should not mail his forms to the U.S. Marshal.
