MICHAEL BOYD,

Plaintiff,

v.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00405-BLF 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST TO SERVE COUNTY 

COUNSEL SUMMONS AND 

COMPLAINT FOR FIVE REMAINING 

COUNTY DEFENDANTS

[Re: ECF 100]

Plaintiff has filed a “Request to Serve County Counsel Summons and Complaint for Five 

Remaining County Defendants.” See ECF 100. Plaintiff asks that he be permitted to serve five 

individuals identified in Plaintiff’s Request only as “County Defendants” by delivering copies of 

the summons and complaint to Jason Heath, Assistant County Counsel, Santa Cruz County. See 

id. Plaintiff’s proposed method of service does not comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

4, which sets forth the requirements for service of process. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Request is 

DENIED.

Plaintiff may wish to contact the Federal Pro Se Program, a free program that offers 

limited legal services and advice to parties who are representing themselves. The Federal Pro Se
