ORDER FOR PARTIAL DISMISSAL
and PARTIAL SERVICE
In accordance with the Opinion filed this date:
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s action against Defendants Burt and Palmer be
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e) and 1915A, and 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(c).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall forward the amended complaint (ECF
No. 8) and attachments to the original complaint (ECF No. 1-1) to the U.S. Marshals Service, which is
authorized to mail a request for waiver of service to Defendant Del-Tour 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 Defendant Del-Tour 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,
Defendant is not 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 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.
