ORDER

On February 25, 2010, this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause by March 29, 2010

why Defendant J. Nicholas should not be dismissed for failure to timely serve. On March

1, 2010, defense counsel provided the Court with information that an officer J. Nichols is an

employee at Kern Valley State Prison. Further defense counsel suggested that perhaps this

is who Plaintiff was attempting to serve in this case, rather than Defendants “Nicholas” or

“Nicolas.” Based on defense counsel’s additional information,
