Plaintiff Cory Hoch (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee in the custody of the California

Two of the three Defendants have been served in this action. On July 12, 2013, Defendants 

Sanzberro and Tarkenton filed a Motion to Dismiss. The motion is currently pending.

On July 19, 2013, Counsel for Defendants Sanzberro and Tarkenton filed a request that the 

Court order the United States Marshal to cease attempts at service on Defendant Christian. The 

request was accompanied by a declaration from the Human Resources Director at Coalinga State 

Hospital indicating that an employee by the name of Christian could not be located.
