DOYLE WAYNE DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

GAIL LEWIS, et al.,

CASE NO. 1:05-cv-01124-AWI-SMS P

ORDER DIRECTING UNITED STATES

MARSHAL TO INITIATE SERVICE ON

DEFENDANT FOGLEMAN WITHOUT

PREPAYMENT OF COSTS

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO

PROVIDE MARSHAL WITH EXHIBIT

BEARING DEFENDANT FOGLEMAN’S

NAME

Plaintiff Doyle Wayne Davis (“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 October 10, 2006, the court

issued an order directing the United States Marshal to initiate service on nine defendants. Eight of

the nine defendants subsequently waived service and filed an answer. On November 27, 2006,

service was returned un-executed as to defendant M. Fogleman. The Marshal was informed that no

individual by that name could be located. However, plaintiff misspelled the defendant’s name as

“Fogelman” in the USM-285 form and summons. This misspelling may have led to the inability to

locate this defendant. The Marshal shall be directed to initiate service on defendant Fogleman a

second time and shall be provided with an exhibit from the court record containing defendant’s

name.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward the following documents to the United States

Marshal:
