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 the complaint 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 reply to the complaint by way of
answer, motion to dismiss, or motion for summary judgment within the time allowed by law. See
42 U.S.C. § 1997e(g)(2).
