IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOUGLAS L. DAWKINS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-02-2038 LKK KJM P

vs.

J.R. PETERSON, et al., ORDER AND

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is a prison inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil

rights action. On March 1, 2006, plaintiff filed his third request for the appointment of counsel. 

Plaintiff's previous requests were filed on October 21, 2004 and June 9, 2005. All requests were

denied. 

On March 6, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion for a default judgment, but on the same

day, filed a request to disregard the motion.

Finally, on June 1, 2004, the court authorized service on A. Colon; on June 30,

2004, United States Marshal filed the return of service unexecuted as to A. Colon. Plaintiff has

not made further attempts to serve this defendant; dismissal as to A. Colon is therefore

appropriate. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).
