3. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff one USM-285 form for each defendant, 

one summons, a copy of the complaint, an appropriate form for consent to trial by a magistrate 

judge, and this court’s status order. 

4. Plaintiff is directed to supply the U.S. Marshal, within 14 days from the date this 

order is filed, all information needed by the Marshal to effect service of process, and shall file a 

statement with the court that said documents have been submitted to the United States Marshal. 

The court anticipates that, to effect service, the U.S. Marshal will require at least: 

 a. One completed summons for each defendant; 

 b. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant; 

 c. One copy of the endorsed filed complaint for each defendant, with an extra 

copy for the U.S. Marshal; 

 d. One copy of this court’s status order for each defendant; and

report that fact, and the reasons for it, to the undersigned. 

6. If a defendant waives service, the defendant is required to return the signed waiver 

to the United States Marshal. If the Marshal has already attempted personal service, the filing of 

an answer or a responsive motion will not relieve a defendant from the potential obligation to pay 

the costs of service pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d)(2). 

7. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the U.S. 

Marshal, 501 “I” Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, Tel. No. (916) 930-2030. 

8. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order may result in a recommendation that 

this action be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) and Local Rules 110 

and 183(a).vice on defendants is appropriate;
