DAVID MOON, a/k/a AZELIE MOON, Plaintiff, v. SISSON, et al., Defendants.
Susan K. DeClercq, District Judge.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO EXCLUDE THE CASE FROM EARLY MEDIATION (ECF NO. 7) AND LIFTING THE STAY AND DIRECTING SERVICE
KIMBERLY G. ALTMAN, United States Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff, a prisoner in the custody of the Michigan Department of Corrections, filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case was stayed and referred to the Court's Pro Se Early Prisoner Mediation Program for possible resolution. (ECF No. 6).
Plaintiff subsequently filed a motion and brief to exclude the case from early mediation. (ECF Nos. 7, 8). Because participation in the program is voluntary and considering plaintiff's desire not to participate in mediation, the motion to exclude the case from early mediation is GRANTED.
The stay is LIFTED, and this case is returned to the docket of the district judge for further proceedings.
The Clerk must prepare the forms necessary to effect service of process.
The U.S. Marshal is directed to serve the completed service documents with a copy of the complaint on the defendant(s). The United States will advance the costs of service.
SO ORDERED.
