IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMEL WALKER, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-08-3034 WBS KJM P

vs.

JASON ROHER, 

Defendant. ORDER

 /

On May 15, 2009, the court ordered the U.S. Marshal to serve defendant Roher. 

On July 17, 2009, defendant filed an answer. On December 8, 2009, the Marshal’s Service filed

a request for reimbursement for the costs of service, noting that defendant was personally served

on November 25, 2009. On December 16, 2009, the court directed defendant show cause why he

should not pay the costs of service. Defendant has responded that service was unnecessary

because he had already responded to the jurisdiction of the court.

Although it appears that defendant did not return the waiver of service, he did

answer the summons and complaint in a timely fashion, rendering service unnecessary.
