UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DALE ALLEN HURICK,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 1:15-cv-140
v.
Honorable Paul L. Maloney
KEN McKEE et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________________/
ORDER FOR SERVICE
This is a prisoner civil rights action. The Court has conducted an initial review of
the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915(e), §1915A and 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(c), to determine
whether it is frivolous, malicious, fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted or seeks
monetary relief against a defendant that is immune from such relief. Upon initial review, the Court
concludes that the complaint is not subject to dismissal for any of the reasons listed above.
Therefore:
IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk shall forward two copies of the complaint and any
attachments to the U.S. Marshals Service, which is authorized to mail a request for waiver of service
to Defendants in the manner prescribed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2). If waiver of service is
unsuccessful, summons shall issue and be forwarded to the U.S. Marshals Service for service under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(d).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants shall file an appearance of counsel
(individual Defendants may appear pro se if they do not have counsel) within 21 days of service or,
in the case of a waiver of service, 60 days after the waiver of service was sent. Until so ordered by
the Court, no Defendant is required to file an answer or motion in response to the complaint, and no
default will be entered for failure to do so. See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(g)(1). After a Defendant has filed
an appearance, proceedings in this case will be governed by the Court’s Standard Case Management
Order in a Prisoner Civil Rights Case.
