ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

SUBMIT USM 285 FORMS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

complaint filed on April 6, 2007. On January 28, 2008, the Court issued an order finding that

to file an amended complaint but wanted to proceed on the excessive force claims only. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Service is appropriate for defendants Diaz, Rangel, Jordan and Deathridge.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall send Plaintiff four (4) USM-285 forms, four (4)

summons, a Notice of Submission of Documents form, an instruction sheet and a

copy of the complaint filed April 6, 2007.
