IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN ERIC CHATMON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-2083 FCD EFB P

vs.

S. DOYLE, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and without counsel in a civil rights

action. 

The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendant Riddle unserved

because the United States Marshal is unable to locate the defendant. Plaintiff must provide new

information about where this defendant may be served. Plaintiff may seek such information

through discovery, the California Public Records Act, California Government Code §§ 6250, et

seq., or any other means available but must proceed with haste because Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m)

requires that an action be dismissed as to a defendant not served within 120 days after filing the

complaint unless the time is enlarged based upon a demonstration of good cause. If plaintiff’s

access to the required information is denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial

intervention.
