Sekou alleges in his motions for default judgment that, according to the court’s docket, the
United States Marshals Service has served this case upon on the defendants. However, Sekou is
mistaken. The court has not ordered service of the complaint, and there is no evidence that the USMS has
otherwise served the complaint.
