FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAWRENCE BIRKS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1105 LKK EFB P

vs.

C.A. TERHUNE, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 26, 2007, plaintiff filed a first set of

interrogatories, request for production of documents and request for admissions.

Interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, responses and proofs of

service thereof “shall not be filed with the clerk until there is a proceeding in which the

document or proof of service is at issue. When required in a proceeding, only that part of the

request and response that is in issue shall be filed.” Local Rules 33-250(c), 34-250(c) & 36-

250(c).

On February 15, 2007, the United States Marshal returned process directed to defendant

N. Barron unserved because “no N. in CDC locator.” 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.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s January 26, 2007 first set of interrogatories, request for production of

documents, and request for admissions are stricken and the Clerk of the Court shall make a

notation on the docket to that effect.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall mail plaintiff one USM-285 and a copy of the amended

complaint filed April 24, 2006.

3. Within 90 days from the date this order is served, plaintiff may submit the attached

Notice of Submission of Documents with a completed form USM-285 providing instructions for

service of process upon defendant N. Barron and two copies of the April 24, 2006 amended

complaint provided to plaintiff. 

4. Failure to provide new instructions for service of process upon defendant N. Barron

within the time allowed or show good cause for such failure will result in a recommendation that

this action be dismissed as to that defendant.

Dated: April 9, 2007.
