UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAJ SINGH, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CITY OF SACRAMENTO, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0997 MCE AC (PS) 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is proceeding in this action in pro per, and in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915. This proceeding was referred to the undersigned by E.D. Cal. R. 302(c)(21), 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On October 16, 2015, the court issued an Order To Show 

Cause (“OSC”) why this action should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. ECF No. 7. 

 Plaintiff timely responded to the OSC, asserting that he was unaware of the court’s May 

13, 2015 order (ECF No. 3), directing him to supply the U.S. Marshal with “all information 

needed by the Marshal to effect service of process,” and to “file a statement with the court that 

said documents have been submitted to the United States Marshal.” See ECF No. 8. The OSC 

will therefore be discharged. 

 Plaintiff must, however, comply with the May 13, 2015 order no later than 15 days from 

the date of this order. Failure to comply in a timely manner will result in a recommendation that 

this action be dismissed for lack of prosecution.

 Plaintiff is advised that the response he filed on October 27, 2015 (ECF No. 8) – asserting 

only that he has asked the U.S. Marshal to serve the complaint – does not comply with the May 

13, 2015 order. Instead, plaintiff must timely submit all required documents to the U.S. 

Marshal, as set forth at ECF No. 3 ¶ 5, and must timely file a statement with this court that he 

has submitted all of those documents to the U.S. Marshal. 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS ORDERED that: 

 1. The OSC (ECF No. 7), is DISCHARGED; and 

 2. Plaintiff shall comply with the May 13, 2015 order (ECF No. 3), no later than 15 days 

from the date of this order. 

DATED: October 28, 2015
