UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DAVID M. DAVID, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

N. GRANNIS, et al., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:11-cv-2784 KJM DB P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action. In September 

2013, the court found service of plaintiff’s complaint appropriate on defendants Davey, Beasley, 

Brown, Schwab, Stovall1, Lewis, and Buhay. (ECF No. 17.) Defendants Davey, Beasley, 

Brown, Schwab, Stovall, and Buhay waived service and answered the complaint. (ECF Nos. 26, 

28.) Service on defendant Lewis was unsuccessful because the California Department of 

Corrections and Rehabilitation was unable to locate and/or identify him. (ECF No. 25.) On July 

9, 2014, the court advised plaintiff that he must provide additional information to serve defendant 

Lewis. (ECF No. 27.) Plaintiff was warned that the failure to serve defendant Lewis within 120 

days of the filing of the complaint could result in the dismissal of any claims against Lewis. See 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Plaintiff has not provided the appropriate forms to serve defendant Lewis.

 This individual is identified as Dr. Stoval in the first amended complaint (ECF No. 15) and as J. 

Stovall in defendants’ answer to the first amended complaint (ECF No. 28).

On June 2, 2016, plaintiff and defendants Davey, Beasley, Brown, Schwab, Stovall, and 

Buhay participated in a settlement conference and reached an agreement, which was read into the 

record. On September 2, 2016, plaintiff and defendants Davey, Beasley, Brown, Schwab, Stovall, 

and Buhay filed a stipulation to dismiss this action with prejudice. (ECF No. 72.) They further 

agreed that each party would bear its own costs and fees. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed with prejudice 

against defendants Davey, Beasley, Brown, Schwab, Stovall, and Buhay and is dismissed without 

prejudice against defendant Lewis. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a), (b). The Clerk of the Court is 

directed to close this case.
