May 6, 2020 Filing 10 Minute Order for proceedings held on 5/6/2020 before Judge Ann M. Donnelly:Victor Jordan appeared on behalf of himself. Stephen Kitzinger and Steven Richman appeared on behalf of the defendant. Case called. Discussion held. The plaintiff's request for injunctive relief is denied because he did not allege specific facts demonstrating a likelihood of success on the merits. Counsel for defense represents that they are not authorized to stipulate to service despite the plaintiff's pro se status and the current pandemic's effect on the U.S. Marshals' ability to effect service. In light of the issues presented in this case, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis #2 is granted, and I respectfully direct the Clerk of Court to issue a summons on the docket. The plaintiff must then serve the defendant in accordance with the instructions in the document affixed to this order and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4. If the plaintiff does not properly serve the defendant, the U.S. Marshals will effect service when they are reinstated. The Court will set a briefing schedule when the defendant is served properly.
