IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RICHARD M. GILMAN, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0337 FCD GGH P

vs.

J. WOODFORD, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff paid the filing fee. Accordingly, on September 2, 2005, the court

ordered plaintiff to serve defendants with process within sixty days.

On October 19, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the U.S. Marshal

effect service. The U.S. Marshal is only authorized to effect service in actions when the plaintiff

is proceeding in forma pauperis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of this order to file an application

to proceed in forma pauperis; if the court grants this request, it will direct the U.S. Marshal to

serve defendants; if plaintiff does not comply with this order, he will be obligated to effect

service himself;
