Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3), and California
Civil Procedure Code § 410.10, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.

The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward the following documents to the United

18

States Marshals Service:

19

(1)

One completed and issued summons;

20

(2)

One completed USM-285 form;

21

(3)

One copy of the second amended complaint filed on March 22, 2012, plus an

22

extra copy for the Marshals Service; and

23
24

(4)
2.

One copy of this order, plus an extra copy for the Marshals Service.

Within ten (10) days from the date of this order, the Marshals Service is directed to

25

notify the following defendant of the commencement of this action and to request a

26

waiver of service in accordance with the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d) and 28

27

U.S.C. § 566(c):

28

BARRY J. GREEN, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
1

1

3.

2

The Marshals Service shall file the returned waiver of service, or the request for
waiver of service if returned as undelivered, as soon as it is received.

3

4.

If the waiver of service is not returned by the defendant within thirty (30) days of

4

the date of mailing the request for waiver, the Marshals Service shall:

5

a.

6

Personally serve process and a copy of this order upon the defendant pursuant
to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 566(c).

7

b.

Within ten days after personal service is effected, the Marshals Service shall

8

file the return of service for the defendant, along with evidence of any

9

attempts to secure a waiver of service of process and of the costs

10

subsequently incurred in effecting service on said defendant. Said costs shall

11

be enumerated on the USM-285 form and shall include the costs incurred by

12

the Marshals Service for photocopying additional copies of the summons and

13

complaint and for preparing new USM-285 forms, if required. Costs of

14

service will be taxed against the personally served defendant in

15

accordance with the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2).

16

5.

If defendant waives service, he is required to return the signed waiver to the

17

Marshals Service. The filing of an answer or a responsive motion does not

18

relieve defendant of this requirement, and the failure to return the signed

19

waiver may subject defendant to an order to pay the costs of service pursuant

20

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2).

21

6.

22

In the event that defendant either waives service or is personally served, defendant
is required to reply to the complaint. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(g)(2).

23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
