UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KYLE AVERY,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARC ELIA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:11-cv-3341 JAM CKD (PC)

ORDER

On July 25, 2013, the United States Marshals Service (“USMS”) filed a request for an 

order for reimbursement of $69.13 for effecting personal service on defendant Huggins. On 

August 7, 2013, the court ordered defendant Huggins to reimburse the USMS for personal service 

of process because he failed to waive service. ECF No. 41. Defendant Huggins failed to comply 

with the court’s order. On September 17, 2013, the court ordered defendant Huggins to show 

cause why default should not be entered. ECF No. 43. On October 8, 2013, defendant Huggins 

filed a response to the order to show cause requesting that default not be entered because he 

ultimately appeared in this action on September 19, 2013. ECF No. 47; see also ECF No. 44. On 

October 25, 2013, the court again ordered defendant Huggins to pay the USMS the sum of $69.13 

within fourteen days and discharged the order to show cause. ECF No. 49. Apparently defendant 

Huggins failed to pay the sum as on February 25, 2014, the USMS filed a request for payment of 

the $69.13 fee. ECF No. 60.

It has now been more than four months since the court ordered defendant Huggins to pay 

the USMS for effecting service, and it appears defendant Huggins has failed to comply with the 

court’s order. Therefore, defendant Huggins shall be ordered to pay the USMS the sum of $69.13 

and show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for noncompliance with the court’s order, 

pursuant to Local Rule 110.1

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within ten days from the date of this order, defendant Huggins shall pay the United

States Marshals Service the sum of $69.13 for effecting personal service and file proof of 

payment with the court, or file proof that payment was previously submitted to the United States 

Marshals Service;

2. Defendant Huggins show cause in writing, within ten days from the date of this order, 

why sanctions should not be entered for failure to comply with the court’s order; and 

3. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order on the U.S. Marshal.

Dated: March 3, 2014
