ORDER AND ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE
N. GRANNIS, et al .
15
BY THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL
/
WITHOUT PREPAYMENT OF COSTS
16
Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. By order
17
filed August 24, 2012, the court determined that plaintiff’s complaint states a cognizable claim
18
for relief against defendants Foston and Van Leer and ordered plaintiff to provide information
19
for service of process on form USM-285, a completed summons, sufficient copies of the
20
complaint for service, and a notice of compliance. Plaintiff has filed the required papers.
21
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
22
1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to forward the instructions for service of
23
process, the completed summons, copies of the complaint, and copies of this order to the United
24
States Marshal.
25
26
2. Within ten days from the date of this order, the United States Marshal is
directed to notify defendants Defendants Foston and Van Leer of the commencement of this
1

action and to request a waiver of service of summons in accordance with the provisions of Fed.

R. Civ. P. 4(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 566(c).

of the complaint in their file for future use.
4. The United States Marshal shall file returned waivers of service of summons as
well as any requests for waivers that are returned as undelivered as soon as they are received.
5. If a waiver of service of summons is not returned by a defendant within sixty
days from the date of mailing the request for waiver, the United States Marshal shall:
9
a. Personally serve process and a copy of this order upon the defendant
10
pursuant to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C.
11
§ 566(c) and shall command all necessary assistance from the California
12
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDC) to execute this order.
13
The United States Marshal shall maintain the confidentiality of all
14
information provided by the CDC pursuant to this order.
15
b. Within ten days after personal service is effected, the United States
16
Marshal shall file the return of service for the defendant, along with
17
evidence of any attempts to secure a waiver of service of summons and of
18
the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service on said defendant.
19
Said costs shall be enumerated on the USM-285 form and shall include the
20
costs incurred by the Marshal’s office for photocopying additional copies
21
of the summons and complaint and for preparing new USM-285 forms, if
22
required. Costs of service will be taxed against the personally served
23
defendant in accordance with the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2).
24
25
26
6. Defendants shall reply to the complaint within the time provided by the
applicable provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a).
7. Unless otherwise ordered, all motions to dismiss, motions for summary
2
1
judgment, motions concerning discovery, motions pursuant to Rules 7, 11, 12, 15, 41, 55, 56, 59
2
and 60 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and motions pursuant to Local Rule 11-110 shall
3
be briefed pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(m). Failure to oppose such a motion timely may be
4
deemed a waiver of opposition to the motion. Opposition to all other motions need be filed only
5
as directed by the court.
6
8. If plaintiff is released from prison at any time during the pendency of this case,
7
any party may request application of other provisions of Local Rule 78-230 in lieu of Local Rule
8
78-230(m). In the absence of a court order granting such a request, the provisions of Local Rule
9
78-230(m) will govern all motions described in #7 above regardless of plaintiff’s custodial status.
10
11
See Local Rule 1-102(d).
9. Pursuant to Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1120 n.14 (9th Cir. 2003),
12
plaintiff is advised of the following requirements for opposing a motion to dismiss for failure to
13
exhaust administrative remedies made by defendant pursuant to non-enumerated Rule 12(b) of
14
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Such a motion is a request for dismissal of unexhausted
15
claims without prejudice. The defendant may submit affidavits or declarations under penalty of
16
perjury and admissible documentation to support the motion to dismiss. To oppose the motion,
17
plaintiff may likewise file declarations under penalty of perjury and admissible documentation.
18
Plaintiff may rely upon statements made under the penalty of perjury in the complaint if the
19
complaint shows that plaintiff has personal knowledge of the matters stated and plaintiff calls to
20
the court’s attention those parts of the complaint upon which plaintiff relies. Plaintiff may serve
21
and file one or more affidavits or declarations by other persons who have personal knowledge of
22
relevant matters. Plaintiff may also rely upon written records, but plaintiff must prove that the
23
records are what plaintiff claims they are. If plaintiff fails to contradict defendant’s evidence
24
with admissible evidence, the court may rely on the defendant’s evidence. In the event both sides
25
submit matters outside the pleadings, the court may look beyond the pleadings and decide
26
disputed issues of fact. If plaintiff does not serve and file a written opposition to the motion, the
3
1
court may consider the failure to act as a waiver of opposition to the defendant’s motion. If the
2
defendant’s motion to dismiss, whether opposed or unopposed, is granted, plaintiff’s
3
unexhausted claims will be dismissed without prejudice.
4
10. Pursuant to Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 957 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc),
5
cert. denied, 527 U.S. 1035 (1999), and Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409 (9th Cir. 1988),
6
plaintiff is advised of the following requirements for opposing a motion for summary judgment
7
made by defendants pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Such a motion
8
is a request for an order for judgment in favor of defendants without trial. A defendant’s motion
9
for summary judgment will set forth the facts that the defendants contend are not reasonably
10
subject to dispute and that entitle the defendants to judgment. To oppose a motion for summary
11
judgment, plaintiff must show proof of his or her claims. Plaintiff may do this in one or more of
12
the following ways. Plaintiff may rely upon statements made under the penalty of perjury in the
13
complaint if the complaint shows that plaintiff has personal knowledge of the matters stated and
14
plaintiff calls to the court’s attention those parts of the complaint upon which plaintiff relies.
15
Plaintiff may serve and file one or more affidavits or declarations setting forth the facts that
16
plaintiff believes prove plaintiff’s claims; the person who signs an affidavit or declaration must
17
have personal knowledge of the facts stated. Plaintiff may rely upon written records, but plaintiff
18
must prove that the records are what plaintiff claims they are. Plaintiff may rely upon all or any
19
part of the transcript of one or more depositions, answers to interrogatories, or admissions
20
obtained in this proceeding. If plaintiff fails to contradict the defendants’ evidence with
21
counteraffidavits or other admissible evidence, the defendants’ evidence may be taken as the
22
truth and the defendants’ motion for summary judgment granted. If there is some good reason
23
why such facts are not available to plaintiff when required to oppose a motion for summary
24
judgment, the court will consider a request to postpone considering the defendants’ motion. If
25
plaintiff does not serve and file a written opposition to the motion or a request to postpone
26
consideration of the motion, the court may consider the failure to act as a waiver of opposition to
4
1
the defendants’ motion. If the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, whether opposed or
2
unopposed, is granted, judgment will be entered for the defendants without a trial and the case
3
will be closed.
4
5
11. A motion or opposition supported by unsigned affidavits or declarations will
be stricken.
6
12. Each party shall keep the court informed of a current address at all times
7
while the action is pending. Any change of address must be reported promptly to the court in a
8
separate document captioned for this case and entitled “Notice of Change of Address.” A notice
9
of change of address must be properly served on other parties. Pursuant to Local Rule 83-182(f),
10
service of documents at the record address of a party is fully effective. Failure to inform the
11
court of a change of address may result in the imposition of sanctions including dismissal of the
12
action.
13
14
15
13. The Clerk of the Court shall serve upon plaintiff a copy of the Local Rules of
Court.
14. The failure of any party to comply with this order, the Federal Rules of Civil
16
Procedure, or the Local Rules of Court may result in the imposition of sanctions including, but
17
not limited to, dismissal of the action or entry of default. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11; Local Rule 11-110.
18
15. Plaintiff’s Preliminary Motion To Compel Agents of Defendants to Comply
19
With California Code of Regulations, or, in the alternative, Motion For Preliminary Injunction
20
Enjoining Agents of Defendant Further Impeding Plaintiff’s Access To The Court, ECF No. 25,
21
filed September 24, 2012 is DENIED for failure to include a certificate of service and to comply
22
with the Local Rules of the Court.
