Date Filed Document Text
April 20, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 19 MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff's #2 Motion Requesting Service by the United States Marshals Service is DENIED. The Court notes that this case has been consolidated with 1:24-cv-02221-DDD-MDB, where Plaintiff has served, or is in the process of serving, most of these Defendants. Moreover, the Court notes that Plaintiff does not proceed in forma pauperis (see 1:24-cv-02221-DDD-MDB (ECF 4)), leading the Court to conclude service by the US Marshals is inappropriate here.
