CIVIL NO. 2:16-CV-458-DBH

ORDER ON MOTION TO REASSIGN CASE
The motion to reassign the case away from the Magistrate Judge (ECF No.
12) is DENIED.

From the docket it appears that on October 29, 2016, the

Magistrate Judge issued an Order for Service (ECF No. 11) in response to the
plaintiff’s October 25, 2016, motion (ECF No. 9). The Order provides that the
U.S. Marshal may attempt service by waiver first and, if waivers are not timely
returned, the Clerk shall prepare summonses for service in hand by the U.S.
Marshal (ECF No. 11). It also appears that on November 2, 2016, the Clerk’s
Office delivered service forms to the U.S. Marshal Service, with copies mailed to
the plaintiff. In other words, the Magistrate Judge and the Clerk’s Office have
proceeded appropriately, and the next step is to determine if the defendants
waive in-hand service.
SO ORDERED.
DATED THIS 9TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2016
