ORDER
(Docket No. 8)

14

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for service of summons and complaint by U.S.

15

Marshal. Docket No. 8. Plaintiff submits that because the Court has granted her application to

16

proceed in forma pauperis, she is entitled to have the United States Marshal serve her summons and

17

complaint. Id. at 1. Plaintiff is incorrect. Further, Plaintiff’s motion is premature, as the Court

18

dismissed her complaint without prejudice, and has not yet screened her amended complaint. See

19

Docket No. 5. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for service of summons, Docket No. 8, is hereby

20

DENIED without prejudice.

21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
