Nature of Suit Code: 550
Nature of Suit: Prisoner - Civil Rights (U.S. defendant)
Cause of Action: 42:1983 Prisoner Civil Rights

---

As subsequent filings served on Plaintiff have not been returned as undeliverable, it appears 1

the delivery failure was not caused by a change of address. Accordingly, the Court will not dismiss

Plaintiff’s action at this time for failure to prosecute pursuant to Local Rule 83-183(b).

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NEHEMIAH JEFF FISHER,

Plaintiff,

vs.

RAUL MISCHIU, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:07-cv-00789 JKS KJM P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local General Order No. 262. 

On December 28, 2007, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein

which were served on Plaintiff and which contained notice to Plaintiff that any objections to the

findings and recommendations were to be filed within twenty days. Plaintiff has not filed objections

to the findings and recommendations. 

On October 23, 2007, Plaintiff was given thirty days to file the forms necessary to effect

service on Defendants. On December 28, 2007, the magistrate judge recommended the action be

dismissed as Plaintiff had not complied with the Court’s instructions. On that same day, the

October 23, 2007, order was returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable. See Docket No. 1

10. As Plaintiff never received the forms he was instructed to fill out and return, the Court will not

dismiss this action for failure to obey the Court’s order. Plaintiff will be given until May 30, 2008,

to comply with the Court’s order of October 23, 2007.
