Plaintiff filed his original complaint on September 12, 2007. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on July 21, 2008. (Doc. 17.) On January 7, 2009 the Court screened Plaintiff's second amended complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and found service appropriate. Plaintiff was forwarded service documents for completion and return. Plaintiff returned the documents on March 20, 2009 and the court directed the United States Marshal to initiate service on March 23, 2009. (Docs. 29, 30). However, it appears that the service documents returned by Plaintiff were incomplete and therefore service could not be effected. Accordingly, the Court shall re-send to Plaintiff new service documents for completion and return. /// 1 v. (Doc. 30) HERNANDEZ, et al., Defendants.
