Plaintiff,

No. 2:17-cv-2106 WBS DB P

v.

ORDER

J. KINROSS, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On

16
17

February 5, 2019, the Court issued findings and recommendations to allow this case to proceed

18

only on a First Amendment free exercise claim against Kinross, Lt. Gilliam, and Lt. Appleberry,

19

and a RLUIPA claim against Warden Fox. (ECF No. 20.) Those findings and recommendations

20

remain pending.
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for order for service (ECF No. 10), which seeks an

21
22

order directing service on the named defendants. Because service is not appropriate until the

23

district judge has ruled on the pending findings and recommendations, IT IS HEREBY

24

ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion is DENIED.
