ORDER

This matter is before the court on pro se plaintiff’s various motions, namely for entry of
default, summary judgment, and default judgment. Plaintiff is not entitled to the relief that he
seeks at this time because he has not properly served the United States. Although the named
defendant, a governmental officer, was apparently served, (see Process Receipt & Return, DE #
21), the United States has not yet been served as required by Rule 4(i) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. The Clerk is DIRECTED to provide copies of the summons and of the
complaint to the U.S. Marshal for service. The U.S. Marshal is DIRECTED to deliver said
copies to the United States Attorney for this district and immediately thereafter file the Process
Receipt and Return.
Plaintiff’s motions are DENIED.
This 12 July 2011.
