The Story So Far
The court granted the plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis on March 24, 2026. Judge Nina R. Morrison ordered the Clerk of Court to prepare a summons for the defendant and directed the U.S.
Marshals Service to serve the defendant without requiring prepayment of fees. The plaintiff is proceeding pro se, and the court instructed the Clerk to mail a copy of the order to the plaintiff and record the mailing on the docket. This step clears the way for formal service of process, which is necessary to move the case forward.
The case remains active, but the docket does not provide further details about the parties or the underlying claims. The court’s order reflects a routine early procedural stage where the plaintiff’s financial status is recognized to allow the case to proceed without upfront costs.
The next key procedural milestone will be the defendant’s response after service of the summons and complaint.
