IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW R. LOPEZ,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-1605 GEB DAD P

vs.

S. COOK, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 3, 2007, plaintiff filed a document styled, “Objections To This

Court’s Issuing Orders Absent My Receiving Prior Notice Of Issues; And, Request For Counsel

To Be Made Pursuant 28 U.S.C. § 1915.” Therein plaintiff contends that he never received a

copy of the court’s findings and recommendations, filed on November 14, 2006, which

recommended that plaintiff’s claims against defendants Farris, Singletary and Hansen be

dismissed without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to submit USM-285 forms for service on

those defendants pursuant to the court’s September 12, 2006 order. On December 22, 2006, the

findings and recommendations in question were adopted by the District Judge assigned to this

action. In the interest of justice, the court will direct the Clerk of the Court to provide plaintiff

with a copy of the court’s September 12 order and the November 14 findings and
