UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SALADIN RUSHDAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. WIN, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-0853 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s April 6, 2015 motion for “service of 

summons and complaint and/or summary judgment against defendant Warden G. Swarthout.” 

(ECF No. 53.) Plaintiff moves the court for service of defendant Swarthout. If defendant 

Swarthout has been served, plaintiff moves for summary judgment as to this defendant. 

On December 4, 2014, the court directed the U.S. Marshal to serve defendants, including 

defendant Swarthout. (ECF No. 42.) On April 13, 2015, defendants Arnold, Austin, Beard, 

Fleischman, McAlpine, Wang and Win filed an answer. (ECF No. 55.)

Court records indicate that service on defendant Swarthout has not yet been executed. 

The U.S. Marshal has informed the court that it is still attempting to serve defendant Swarthout.
