ORDER 

Currently pending before the Court are two motions filed by pro se Plaintiff Kevin Lewis

Hobson. The Court will first address Plaintiff’s Motion for Service by U.S. Marshal (Docs. 6)

wherein Plaintiff respectfully requests that the US Marshal Service serve his summons and

Complaint upon Defendant. Pursuant to the Court’s Order of July 2, 2007 (Doc. 3), wherein

the Court granted Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, the U.S. Marshal has

previously been ordered to serve Plaintiff’s summons and Complaint.1

 Therefore, Plaintiff’s

Motion for Service by U.S. Marshal(Doc. 6) is DENIED as MOOT. 

The Court also has before it a Motion for Preliminary Pretrial Conference (Doc. 10).

The Court finds that because Defendant has yet to be served, it is premature to schedule a

pretrial conference. Therefore, the motion is DENIED without prejudice.
