IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SOL GARCIA, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-1927 FCD GGH P

vs.

K. PROSPER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On July 18, 2005, the court ordered the U.S. Marshal to serve process on

defendant Pompey. Plaintiff’s completed USM-285 form stated that defendant Pompey was

located at Susanville State Penitentiary. 

On October 20, 2005, service was returned unexecuted. The returned USM-285

form stated that the U.S. Marshal was informed that defendant was now employed at the

California Institution for Women (CIW). Accordingly, the U.S. Marshal forwarded the forms for

service to CIW. Prison officials at CIW returned the forms to the U.S. Marshal stating that

defendant was no longer employed there. The U.S. Marshal then asked the CDC Locator to

search their records for defendant’s location. The CDC Locator informed the U.S. Marshal that

it could not locate defendant Pompey.

On December 7, 2005, the court granted plaintiff sixty days to provide additional

information for service of defendant Pompey. On January 25, 2006, plaintiff submitted a new

USM-285 form which again identified defendant as being located at Susanville State Prison. On

February 16, 2006, the court again ordered the U.S. Marshal to serve defendant Pompey. On

March 31, 2006, service was again returned unexecuted.

For the reasons discussed above, it does not appear that service of defendant

Pompey is possible. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within twenty days of the

date of this order, plaintiff shall show cause why this action should not be dismissed because

defendant Pompey cannot be served.
