Filing 10
ORDER: Plaintiff Larry Bruce Rubin's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #7 is granted. Because Plaintiff has been authorized to proceed in forma pauperis, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3), the Court orders the United States Marshal's office to serve Defendants. The USM-285 form has already been submitted 3 . The Marshal is authorized to mail a request for waiver of service to Defendant in the manner prescribed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2) before attempting personal service. Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation #8 is denied without prejudice. In his motion, Plaintiff checked the box stating "I have not previously been represented by an attorney requested by the Court in any federal criminal or civil case." R. #8 3 (emphasis in original). However, based on the Court's review of the Northern District of Illinois dockets, it appears that Plaintiff has been previously represented by counsel recruited by the Court. See 15-cv-06829, Rubin v. North Side Housing and Supportive Services, Dkt. No. 8. Plaintiff is advised that he must ensure all information submitted to the Court is correct. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b). Plaintiff may submit a renewed motion for attorney representation that contains all responsive information. Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 1/24/2022. Mailed notice(gcy, )
