ORDER GRANTING REQUEST FOR 

ORDER RESCINDING PREVIOUS MEMO 

REIMBURSING U.S. MARSHAL SERVICE 

FEES

(ECF Nos. 27, 28)

Plaintiff Bryan Denton (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 18, 2014, the Court ordered 

the United States Marshal to serve process upon the defendant in this case. The Marshal was 

directed to attempt to secure a waiver of service before attempting personal service on the 

defendants. If a waiver of service was not returned by a defendant within sixty days, the Marshal 

was directed to effect personal service on the defendant in accordance with the provisions of 

Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 566(c), without prepayment of 

costs, and to file the return of service with evidence of any attempt to secure a waiver of service 

and with evidence of all costs subsequently incurred in effecting personal service. 

On April 25, 2014, Defendant Pulido filed an answer. (ECF No. 20.)

On May 12, 2014, the Marshal returned a waiver of service executed by Defendant 

Pulido. (ECF No. 24.)

On May 23, 2014, the Marshal returned process showing personal service of Defendant 

Pulido. (ECF No. 26.) The Marshal also filed a request for reimbursement of service fees. 

(ECF No. 27.) 

On May 28, 2014, the Marshal filed the instant request to rescind the memorandum 

seeking reimbursement of fees. According to the request, the Marshal has concluded that fees 

are not appropriate in this case. (ECF No. 28.) 

The Marshal’s request for an order rescinding the previous memo seeking reimbursement 

of the U.S. Marshals Service fees is GRANTED. The memorandum seeking reimbursement of 

service fees, which was filed on May 23, 2014, is HEREBY DISREGARDED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
