ORDER FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS: On July 21, 2025, the Court designated claims that will proceed in this lawsuit against Defendants to include Defendant Cancino and Defendant Hart. (Doc. 8). The Clerk of Court attempted to serve Defendants Cancino and Hart by delivery of waivers of service, but the waivers were not returned. (Docs. 10 and 13). Although the Court required Plaintiff to pay the filing fee in this matter, it is still reasonably satisfied that Plaintiff does not have sufficient funds to cover other expenses in this litigation and finds it appropriate to deem him an in forma pauperis litigant by the terms of 28 U.S.C. Section 1915. With this finding, the Court now directs the issuance of summons consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3). The Court now DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to tender a copy of this Order, the original Order for Service of Process (Doc. 8), and a summons for Defendants Cancino and Hart to the United States Marshals Service for service of process consistent with Rule 4(c)(3). Signed by Magistrate Judge Reona J. Daly on 10/20/2025. (mado)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
