UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NELSON YLARDE,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. McGRAW, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00390-OWW-LJO-P

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR ISSUANCE

OF USM-285 FORMS AS PREMATURE

(Doc. 8)

Plaintiff Nelson Ylarde (“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 August 5, 2005, plaintiff filed

a motion seeking the issuance of USM-285 forms for service of process.

Plaintiff’s motion for the issuance of USM-285 forms is premature. Service of the summons

and complaint will occur only after the court has determined that plaintiff’s complaint contains

cognizable claims for relief and is appropriate for service.1 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. Thus, service of plaintiff’s complaint is not yet appropriate. Once service is deemed

appropriate, the court will take the necessary action. It is unnecessary for plaintiff to file any

requests for the issuance of summonses or USM-285 forms. 

The Clerk’s Office is in receipt of the summonses plaintiff sent to the court. The summonses

will be returned to plaintiff by Clerk’s Office staff under separate cover.
