Case No. 1:18-cv-00505-JDP
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR SERVICE
ECF No. 17

v.
C. MCCABE, et al.,

15

Defendants.

17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights action brought

18
19

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff moves to have his complaint served, complaining that it has

20

been months since he filed his case. See ECF No. 17. My findings and recommendations on

21

screening plaintiff’s complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A are pending before a district judge. See

22

ECF No. 19. Only after screening has been completed will service be considered. Even then, the

23

complaint will not be served if it is dismissed. Therefore, plaintiff’s motion is denied it without

24

prejudice to refiling. ECF No. 17.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
