ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion Requesting Status of
Summons, (Doc. No. 15), in which Plaintiff states that he filled out the summons forms he
received from this Court and mailed the summons to Defendants, and he is seeking directions
from the Court as to the next step.
This Court’s order on initial review directed Plaintiff to return the completed summons
forms to the Court for service on Defendants by the U.S. Marshal. The Court will therefore
instruct the Clerk to resend Plaintiff summons forms so that he can fill out the forms and return
them to the Court for service by the U.S. Marshal, rather than mailing them directly to
Defendants.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
(1)

Plaintiff’s Motion Requesting Status of Summons, (Doc. No. 15), is GRANTED
to the extent that the Court has now responded to Plaintiff’s motion.

1

(2)

In accordance with this Order, the Clerk is directed to mail summons forms to
Plaintiff for Plaintiff to fill out and return to the Court for service on Defendants
by the U.S. Marshal.
