TIMOTHY J. HANNA,

Plaintiff,

v.

OFFICER LITTLE,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-02216-HSG (PR) 

ORDER REQUESTING CDCR 

LITIGATION COORDINATOR 

PROVIDE LOCATION INFORMATION 

FOR UNSERVED DEFENDANT

Re: Dkt. No. 35

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Correctional Training Facility, filed this pro se civil rights action 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against staff and officials at San Quentin State Prison (“SQSP”), where he 

was previously incarcerated. On May 13, 2015, the Court screened plaintiff’s third amended 

complaint, found that it stated a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim of deliberate indifference to 

safety as against SQSP Correctional Officer Little, and ordered him served. Docket No. 27.

On June 1, 2015, the summons for defendant Little was returned unexecuted with the 

following remark: “Dismissed from state service. No forwarding address.” Docket No. 31. On 

June 9, 2015, the Court directed plaintiff to effect service on defendant Little, or submit to

the Court sufficient information to identify and locate defendant Little such that the

United States Marshal is able to effect service. Docket No. 32.

On July 21, 2015, plaintiff filed a request for an order directing the United States Marshal 

to provide service. Docket No. 35. Therein, plaintiff states he has been unable to obtain a current 

address for defendant Little and requests the Court’s assistance.

Plaintiff is reminded that it is ultimately plaintiff’s responsibility to provide sufficient

information to allow the Marshal to locate and serve defendants. However, in the interest of 

expediting proceedings, the Clerk of the Court shall send a copy of this order to the Litigation
