Plaintiff filed a motion to reconsider his request for the court to order the U.S. Marshal

15

to serve process in this civil rights action in which the plaintiff is not proceeding in forma

16

pauperis. He asks that the Marshal be ordered to serve process at plaintiff's expense because he

17

(plaintiff) cannot find anyone else to serve process. Upon due consideration, plaintiff's motion

18

for reconsideration is GRANTED. (Docket # 20.) The Marshal will serve process on defendant

19

T. Miller at the address provided by plaintiff and plaintiff must pay for the cost of such service.

20

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c). The Marshal may bill plaintiff directly or inform the court of the cost

21

of such service.

22

The clerk shall issue a summons and the United States Marshal shall serve, without

23

prepayment of fees, the summons, a copy of the complaint and a copy of all orders issued in this

24

case upon correctional officer T. Miller, employed at Salinas Valley State Prison.
