Plaintiff’s request for a scheduling order (ECF No. 12) is DENIED as premature. A

defendant under seal (ECF No. 20). If plaintiff wishes to have the U.S. Marshal attempt
service on this defendant, he shall follow the instructions contained in this order.
The Clerk shall ISSUE a summons for the above-named defendant and send the
same to the U.S. Marshal. The Clerk shall also SEND a copy of the first amended
complaint (ECF No. 7), the screening order (ECF No. 9), and this order to the U.S. Marshal
for service on the defendant. The Clerk shall SEND to plaintiff one USM-285 form.
Plaintiff shall have until Friday, January 24, 2020, to complete the USM-285 service form
and return it to the U.S. Marshal, 400 South Virginia Street, 2nd Floor, Reno, Nevada
89501.
If plaintiff fails to follow this order, the above-named defendant will be dismissed for
failure to complete service of process pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
