LARRY W. CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. KATHLEEN BUTZ, et al.,

Defendants.

CIV S-03-1455 LKK PAN PS

ORDER 

—NFN—

On September 20, 2004, the Honorable Lawrence K. Karlton

adopted this court’s findings and recommendations that claims

against defendants Butz, Helgesen, Pollard and Fortner be

dismissed. The remaining defendants are County of Placer, Karin

Easter Gurwell and Lana R. Lingan. Both the County and Lingan

have filed waivers of service of process and the County has filed

an answer. Gurwell has not appeared in the action and there is

no evidence in the file that process has been served upon her.
