UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONNA J. WILLARD,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 09cv2689-LAB (WMc)

ORDER ADOPTING IN PART

REPORT AND

RECOMMENDATION RE:

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS

vs.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of

Social Security,

Defendant.

By order issued December 4, 2009, the Court referred this matter to Magistrate Judge

William McCurine for report and recommendation. On December 8, Judge McCurine issued

a report and recommendation (the “R&R”) recommending that Plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis (the “IFP Application”) be granted. The parties were given until

December 22, 2009 to file any objections they might have to the R&R.

Because the R&R favors Plaintiff, she has no reason to object, and Defendant has

not yet been served and so has no opportunity to object. The Court therefore REJECTS that

portion of the R&R that provides for an objection period and ADOPTS the remainder as its

ruling. 

As set forth in the R&R, Plaintiff’s IFP Application is GRANTED. The United States

Marshals shall serve a copy of the complaint and summons upon Defendants as directed

by Plaintiff on U.S. Marshal Form 285, with all costs of service to be advanced by the United

States. Defendant shall reply to the complaint within the applicable provisions of Fed. R.

Civ. P. 12(a) and 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(g).

Plaintiff shall serve on Defendant or, if appearance has been entered by counsel,

on Defendant’s counsel, a copy of every further pleading or other document submitted for

consideration of the Court. Plaintiff shall include with the original paper to be filed with the

Clerk of the Court a certificate stating the manner in which a true and correct copy of any

document was served on the defendants or counsel of defendants and the date of service.

Any paper received by a district judge or magistrate judge which has not been filed with the

Clerk or which fails to include a Certificate of Service will be disregarded.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 9, 2009
