IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEREMY JONES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-2661 EFB P

vs.

BALLESTEROS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and without counsel in a civil rights

action. The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendant Lee unserved with

a notation that Lee is “not at this address.” Dckt. No. 24. Therefore, plaintiff must provide new

information about where this defendant may be served with process. 

Plaintiff may seek such information through discovery, the California Public Records

Act, California Government Code §§ 6250, et seq., or any other means available but must

proceed with haste because Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires an action be dismissed as to a

defendant not served within 120 days after filing the complaint unless the time is enlarged based

upon a demonstration of good cause. If plaintiff’s access to the required information is denied or

unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention.
