UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FREDERICK ARCHULETA,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

JONG, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-01799-EPG (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR CONVENIENCE 

(ECF NO. 4)

Frederick Archuleta (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 6, 2020, Plaintiff filed a motion for 

convenience. (ECF No. 4). In the motion, Plaintiff states that he will be “released from state 

custody into county probation” on January 14, and asks that he be allowed to file the summons 

“etc...” once he is released. (Id. at 1). 

Service is inappropriate at this time. Because Plaintiff is a prisoner, the Court is 

required to screen Plaintiff’s complaint, 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a), which it will do in due course. 

If the Court finds that any claims are cognizable, the Court will authorize service of process as 

to those claims. 

The Court notes that if Plaintiff is allowed to proceed in forma pauperis in this action,

the United States Marshal will serve the complaint.

Based on the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for convenience is 

DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
