No. CIV S-09-3040-CMK-P

vs.

ORDER

CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL
GROUP, et al.,

Defendants.

/

17

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

18

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an order of contempt

19

(Doc. 56) for obstruction of service.

20

Plaintiff alleges the Yolo County Sheriff’s Department obstructed service of his

21

complaint by the United States Marshal. However, a review of the docket indicates that most of

22

the defendants returned the waiver of service, and other defendants were served through delivery

23

of the summons and complaint to the Sheriff’s Office. The basis of plaintiff’s request is

24

therefore lost on the court.
