ORDER
/

17
No. CIV S-10-1944 DAD P
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983.
By order filed March 28, 2011, the court determined that plaintiff’s amended
19
complaint states a cognizable claim for relief against defendants Gandy, Green, and Rodriguez
20
and ordered plaintiff to provide information for service of process on form USM-285, a
21
completed summons, sufficient copies of the amended complaint for service, and a notice of
22
compliance. Subsequently, the court ordered service of plaintiff’s amended complaint on the
23
defendants. Defendant Gandy has since appeared in this action. However, service directed to
24
defendants Green and Rodriguez has been returned unexecuted.
25
26
On July 6, 2011, the court advised plaintiff that if he wished to proceed with his
claims against defendants Green and Rodriguez, he would need to provide additional information
1
1
that would enable the United States Marshal to serve these named defendants. The court
2
instructed him to seek such information through any means available to him.
3
In response to the court’s order, plaintiff asked for a sixty-day extension of time.
4
Although the court granted plaintiff the additional time, he has since informed the court that he
5
still is unable to provide the U.S. Marshal with the proper address for defendants Rodriguez and
6
Green. Plaintiff has informed the court that both Charlotte Rodriguez and Monique Green
7
worked at California State Prison, Sacramento in 2008. Rodriguez was employed by NMR-
8
Solvere, and Green was employed by MSN. Plaintiff has filed several motions, asking for
9
additional time and requesting that the court open discovery for the purpose of locating the
10
proper addresses for these defendants.
11
Pursuant to this court’s prior order, if a defendant did not return a waiver of
12
service of summons within sixty days from the date of mailing the request for waiver, the U.S.
13
Marshal was to personally serve process on the defendant, “command all necessary assistance
14
from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) to execute this
15
order” and “maintain the confidentiality of all information provided by the CDCR pursuant to”
16
that order. See Order filed May 10, 2011 at ¶ 5. According to the information provided on the
17
USM-285 form returned by the U.S. Marshal and filed on June 13, 2011, the prison facility
18
advised the U.S. Marshal that defendants Rodriguez and Green no longer work at California
19
State Prison, Sacramento, and are not listed in the CDC Locator.
20
At this time, the court will deny plaintiff’s motions asking for additional time and
21
requesting that the court open discovery. Instead, the court will direct Supervising Deputy
22
Attorney General Monica Anderson to take all steps necessary to assist the U.S. Marshal in
23
locating addresses for service of process on defendants Rodriguez and Green.
