ORDER
The plaintiff, Jerry Lee Alston, Jr. ("Alston") who proceeds pro se and has paid the filing
fee, filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 4, 2007. (D.I. l.) After he
filed his complaint, Alston was provided a copy of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 and he acknowledged receipt
of the same. (D.I. 4.) To date service has not been effected upon the defendants, even though
Alston was given an extension of time to May 23, 2003 to effect service.
Alston filed two motions on April 23, 2008. (D.l. 15, 16.) The motions speak to waiver
of service and appear to indicate that Alston will seek waiver of service from the defendants, but
it is not clear what relief Alton seeks. Alston is advised, that although he proceeds pro se, it is
