return to the court, within thirty days, the USM-285 forms necessary to effect service on

defendants. Thirty days passed and plaintiff did not respond to the order. Accordingly, on

January 17, 2007, the court recommended that this action be dismissed.

On March 13, 2007, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and

recommendations. Plaintiff states that he sent the forms necessary to effect service directly to the

U.S. Marshal. Attached to plaintiff’s objections is a memorandum from the U.S. Marshal
