GENE E. EVANS,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:16-cv-01997-JAM-JDP (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR SERVICE

v.
ECF No. 43
K. LASSITER, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

On November 12, 2020, plaintiff filed a motion that appears to be seeking service of his

18

complaint. ECF No. 43. Service has already been ordered and is underway. See ECF Nos. 31,

19

32. Thus, plaintiff’s request for service—to the extent that is what he is seeking—is denied as

20

moot. Plaintiff also appears to be seeking settlement of the case. ECF No. 43. At this date,

21

before all parties have been served and appeared on the docket, it would be premature to mandate

22

a settlement conference. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for service, ECF No. 43, is denied.

23
24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
