Mendoza, Franco and O’Daniels, directing the Court Clerk to provide Plaintiff with

service documents and denying as moot Plaintiff’s September 29, 2014 motion 

requesting service documents. 

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s October 31, 2014 motion requesting service 

documents referenced in the Findings and Recommendations. The October 31, 2014 

motion is unnecessary. The October 29, 2014 Order Adopting Findings and 

Recommendations directed the Clerk to send Plaintiff service documents. The Findings 

and Recommendations for initiation of service and issuance of service documents 

became effective upon adoption by the District Judge. (See ECF No. 11 at 8:1-10.) 

Accordingly, for the reasons stated, Plaintiff’s October 31, 2014 motion 

requesting service documents (ECF No. 14) is DENIED as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 7, 2014 /s/Michael J. Seng
