IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEROY WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0838 DFL CMK P

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

Defendants.

 / ORDER

By order filed August 2, 2006, the court ordered plaintiff to provide additional

information to serve defendant Marcus Cole. Plaintiff was advised that he should promptly seek

additional information to serve defendant Cole through discovery, the California Public Records

Act, or other means available to plaintiff. 

On September 14, 2006, plaintiff returned to the court incomplete documents for

service on defendant Cole and a motion for discovery. The motion for discovery consists of a list

of California State cases followed by the sentence [t]o aid plaintiff to the whereabouts of one

Marcus J. Cole, defendant.” 

There is no evidence that plaintiff requested information about defendant Cole’s

whereabouts from any California state institution (i.e. a state prison where defendant Cole

worked).

Accordingly, at this time, the court denies plaintiff’s discovery request. Plaintiff is

granted an additional forty-five days to seek additional information to serve defendant Cole. 

Plaintiff is advised that he may, pursuant to the California Public Records Act, seek information

from Folsom state prison (where plaintiff alleged defendant Cole worked in his complaint)

concerning defendant Cole’s whereabouts. If such attempts fail, the plaintiff may seek judicial

intervention; however, in any request for judicial intervention, plaintiff should detail what

attempts he made to discover information to serve defendant Cole.

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for discovery (doc. 25) is denied.

2. Plaintiff is granted forty-five days from the date this order is filed to find

additional information in order to serve defendant Cole. 

DATED: September 25, 2006.
