UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BATES, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-02085-LJO-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFFS TO 

EITHER FILE AN EXECUTED NOTICE OF 

SERVICE OF SUMMONS OR SERVE THE

COMPLAINT WITHIN TWENTY DAYS

On December 29, 2014, Plaintiff filed a complaint alleging violations of the Eighth 

Amendment. (ECF No. 1.) On January 7, 2015, this action was related to Smith v. 

Schwarzenegger, 1:14-cv-00060-LJO-SAB (E.D. Cal), and reassigned to the undersigned. (ECF

No. 8.) On January 22, 2015, the Court found that this action met the requirements to be 

consolidated with Smith, but that consolidation would further delay Smith. Accordingly, this 

action was stayed to allow the Court to address a motion to dismiss in Smith. (Id.)

On October 19, 2015, the stay of this action was lifted due to the decision being issued on 

the motion to dismiss in Smith. The summons in this action was issued on December 31, 2014 

and as of the date of this order, Plaintiffs have not returned an executed notice of service of the 

summons and complaint. Local Rule 135(c).
