IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAWRENCE CHARLES BOWMAN, No. CIV S-07-0906-RRB-CMK

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

DRUG ENFORCEMENT

ADMINISTRATION, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983. The United States has made a special appearance and filed a notice informing the court

that the United States and its employees have not been properly served in this action pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(I)(1)(a). However, plaintiff has filed with this court copies of

the waivers of service signed by defendants Hodges and Griffith. Pursuant to these waivers of

service, defendants Hodges and Griffith agreed “to save the cost of service of a summons and an

additional copy of the complaint in this lawsuit by not requiring that I (or the entity on whose

behalf I am acting) be served with judicial process in the manner provided by Rule 4.” (See

Waiver of Service of Summons, Doc. 22).

Pursuant to the waiver of service, an answer or motion under Rule 12 is to be filed

and served within 60 days of the date the waiver of service was sent. Therefore, the Court will

disregard the defendants’ Special Appearance Re: Failure to Serve Process. An answer or

motion under Rule 12 is to be filed within 60 days of June 19, 2007.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 23, 2007.
