Defendants. In addition, the Clerk will provide Plaintiff with a certified copy of this

Defendants. Upon receipt of this “IFP Package,” Plaintiff must complete the Form 285 as 

completely and accurately as possible and return it to the United States Marshal 

according to the instructions the Clerk provides in the letter accompanying his IFP 

package. The U.S. Marshal is ORDERED to serve a copy of the Complaint and 

summons upon Defendants as directed by Plaintiff on the USM Form 285 provided to 

him. All costs of that service will be advanced by the United States. See 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(d); Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3).
