UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILBERT WINCHESTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

ADAM WARD, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-02653-JCS 

ORDER INSTRUCTING THE U.S. 

MARSHAL TO SERVE PROCESS

Re: Dkt. No. 10

Plaintiff Wilbert Winchester has filed a first amended complaint (dkt. 10) replacing the 

City of Oakland with the Oakland Housing Authority as a named defendant. The first amended 

complaint is otherwise substantially identical to the original complaint. The Court previously

granted Winchester’s application to proceed in forma pauperis. At this time, and without 

prejudice to any argument that Defendants may raise after they are served and appear, no basis for 

dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) is apparent.

Winchester has not yet filed a proposed summons for the Oakland Housing Authority. 

After Winchester does so, the Clerk is instructed to issue summons, and the United States Marshal 

is instructed to serve process (including the first amended complaint) on Defendants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 23, 2019
