UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHN MARTINEZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ALVARO AL PEREIRA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-3008-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and is before the undersigned pursuant to plaintiff’s consent. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4). 

 On June 15, 2016, the court determined that plaintiff’s amended complaint stated a 

cognizable claim against defendant Horowitz and directed plaintiff to, within 30 days, return 

documents necessary to effect service of process on defendant Horowitz. That order warned 

plaintiff that failure to comply with the order could result in dismissal of this case. By an order 

filed July 29, 2016, the court granted plaintiff an additional thirty days in which to comply with 

the court’s June 15, 2016 order. The time for acting has passed and plaintiff has failed to return 

the documents necessary to effect service of process on defendant and has not otherwise 

responded to the court’s order.
