Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2319 LKK KJM P

vs.

STEPHEN MAYBERG, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a California civil detainee proceeding pro se, has filed an action under

42 U.S.C. § 1983 together with a request to proceed in forma pauperis.

This proceeding was referred to the undersigned magistrate judge in accordance

with Local Rule 72-302 and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

Plaintiff has submitted an in forma pauperis application that makes the showing

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, plaintiff will be granted leave to proceed in

forma pauperis.

Because plaintiff’s complaint states a valid claim for relief under the Fourteenth

Amendment of the United States Constitution, it will be ordered served on defendants. See 28

U.S.C. 1915(e)(2).

Plaintiff has filed a motion for preliminary injunction. Because defendants have

not yet been served with process, plaintiff’s motion will be denied without prejudice to refiling

after defendants are served.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff's request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.

2. Service is appropriate for the following defendants: Mayberg, MacSpeiden

and Emerick. 

3. The Clerk of the Court shall send plaintiff three USM-285 forms, one

summons, an instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint filed October 20, 2006.

4. Within thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete the

attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit the following documents to the court:

a. The completed Notice of Submission of Documents;

b. One completed summons;

c. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant listed in number 2

above; and 

d. Three copies of the endorsed complaint filed October 20, 2006. 

5. Plaintiff need not attempt service on defendants and need not request waiver of

service. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the court will direct the United States

Marshal to serve the above-named defendants pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4
