UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAFAYETTE CADE,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEANNE WOODFORD, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00060 OWW SMS P

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR ISSUANCE

OF SUMMONSES

(Doc. 11)

Plaintiff Lafayette Cade (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 28, 2006, plaintiff filed

a motion seeking the issuance of summonses for service of the complaint on defendants. 

Because plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, the court will issue him summonses and

USM-285 forms to complete and return to the court for service of process by the United States

Marshal. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d); Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(2). The court will not issue the documents to

plaintiff until it has screened his complaint and made a finding it states cognizable claims for relief

and is ready for service. Plaintiff was informed of this procedure in the First Informational Order.

(Doc. 9, ¶12.)

In a separate order issued concurrently with this order, the court dismissed plaintiff’s

complaint, with leave to amend, for failure to state any claims upon which relief may be granted.

Plaintiff’s motion is therefore premature and is HEREBY DENIED on that ground.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
