UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD C. BACHMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

C/O M. MELO, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-cv-01438-OWW-DLB PC

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR SERVICE

OF COMPLAINT AS PREMATURE

(Docs. 29 and 30) 

Plaintiff Donald C. Bachman (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 12, 2006, and

January 26, 2007, plaintiff filed motions seeking service of his fourth amended complaint.

In a Findings and Recommendations issued concurrently with this order, the undersigned

recommended that the fourth amended complaint be served on defendants as to plaintiff’s excessive

force claim, but plaintiff’s due process and equal protection claims be dismissed. Once the objection

period has passed, if the Honorable Oliver W. Wanger adopts the Findings and Recommendations

in full, the court will send plaintiff four summonses and four USM-285 forms to fill out and return.

Upon receipt of the service documents, the court will then direct the United States Marshal to initiate

service of process.
