Case No. 15-cv-02614-EDL 

ORDER REQUIRING ISSUANCE OF 

SUMMONS AND SERVICE 

On June 11, 2015, Pro se Plaintiff Lamos Wayne Sturgis filed a complaint against the 

Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department and a “Lieutenant Brooks” alleging a violation of 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 stemming from the conditions of his confinement and treatment at the Main 

Detention Facility in Martinez, California. Dkt. No. 1. The Court granted Plaintiff’s application 

to proceed in forma pauperis on June 17, 2015. Dkt. No. 5. Plaintiff has consented to the 

jurisdiction of this magistrate court. Dkt. No. 8. Having reviewed the complaint pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915, and though the pleading is not a model of clarity, the Court finds that the action 

does not appear to be frivolous or subject to sua sponte dismissal. It is hereby Ordered that the 

Clerk shall issue summons, and the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of California shall 

serve, without the prepayment of fees, a copy of the complaint, any amendments, scheduling 

orders, attachments, plaintiff’s affidavit and this order upon the defendants. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 16, 2015
