UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN A. GAVINO,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. PAPINPUS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:04-CV-5634-REC-SMS-P

ORDER DIRECTING UNITED STATES

MARSHAL TO INITIATE SERVICE OF

PROCESS ON DEFENDANT PERRY

WITHOUT PREPAYMENT OF COSTS 

Plaintiff John A. Gavino (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on

plaintiff’s complaint filed March 22, 2004, against defendants Papinpus, Davis, and Perez for

violating the Eighth Amendment with respect to plaintiff’s medical care. Defendants Papinpus and

Davis waived service and have appeared in the action. However, the Marshal’s previous attempts

to locate and serve defendant Perez were unsuccessful. 

After the Marshal attempted to serve defendant Perez for the second time in compliance with

the court’s order of May 9, 2005, the Marshal was provided with information suggesting that D. M.

Perry was misidentified as W. M. Perez by plaintiff, and that Dr. Perry may be employed at the

California Men’s Colony (CMC) in San Luis Obispo. The court has confirmed that the California 1

Medical Board lists CMC as Dr. Perry’s current address of record.
