THE HONORABLE VALERIE P. COOKE, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE

DEPUTY CLERK:

LISA MANN

REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Plaintiff’s complaint was screened pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, and the court concluded
that plaintiff’s complaint stated colorable claims for which relief may be granted (#10). The
court also ordered service to be completed by the U.S. Marshal’s Office. Id. However, it
appears from plaintiff’s recent correspondence that he has misinterpreted the court’s order
concerning service of process in that he mailed his USM-285 service form to the U.S. Marshal in
Indiana rather than Reno (#14).
The U.S. Marshal in Reno is currently holding a summons that the Clerk of Court has
issued for Eli Lilly and Company (#12). The Clerk shall SEND to plaintiff one USM-285 form,
one copy of the complaint (#1), and one copy of this order for the defendant. Plaintiff shall have
until Friday, May 30, 2014 to complete the USM-285 service form and return it along with the
other documents to the U.S. Marshal’s Office in Reno for service. The address of the U.S.
Marshal in Reno is 400 S. Virginia Street, 2nd Flr., Reno, NV 89501.
If plaintiff fails to follow this order, defendant Eli Lilly and Company will be dismissed
for failure to complete service of process pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
