Date Filed Document Text
September 28, 2023 MAILED a copy of minute order #11 dated 9/26/2023, as well as the Court's minute order of 8/17/23 #9 to Plaintiff. (ph, )
September 26, 2023 Filing 11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras: Telephonic status hearing held on 09/26/23. Plaintiff informed the Court that he did not receive the Court's order denying his motion, and that he intends to re-file a motion to have the United States Marshals Service effectuate Service. Plaintiff is reminded that a one-sentence motion is insufficient and must state a legitimate reason as to why he cannot effectuate service on defendants himself. Telephonic status hearing set for 11/07/23 at 10:00 a.m. for an update on service. For the telephonic status hearing, parties are to use the following call-in number: (888) 684 8852, conference code 8819984. Parties must type in their name when joining the call. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking. The Clerk's Office is directed to mail a copy of this minute order, as well as the Court's minute order of 8/17/23 #9 to Plaintiff. (rbf, )
September 8, 2023 Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras:Telephonic status hearing to report on service scheduled for 9/26/2023 at 10:50 a.m. For the telephonic status hearing, parties are to use the following call-in number: (888) 684 8852, conference code 8819984. PARTIES MUST TYPE IN THEIR NAME WHEN JOINING THE CALL. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking. (rbf, )
August 17, 2023 Filing 9 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras: Plaintiff's motion for service by U.S. Marshal's Office #8 is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff provides the Court with no basis on which to order such service and no reason as to why Plaintiff is unable to effectuate service. Plaintiff's one-sentence motion states: "if my application to proceed without prepaying fees or costs is granted[,] I request service of the Summons and complaint by a U.S. Marshal." But Plaintiff did not file an application to proceed without paying fees or costs, and indeed Plaintiff already paid the filing fee 6 . If Plaintiff has a legitimate reason as to why he cannot effectuate service on Defendants himself, he may file a renewed motion explaining such reasoning by 8/24/23. Otherwise he must serve Defendants in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4. (rbf, )
