United States District Court

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LE ROI JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants /

No. C-07-0904 MMC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO ISSUE

SUMMONSES; DIRECTING SERVICE BY

U.S. MARSHAL

On March 8, 2007, the Court granted plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma

pauperis and ordered the United States Marshal to serve defendants, without prepayment

of fees. Plaintiff subsequently failed, however, to provide sufficient information for the

Marshal to serve defendant Certified Towing and the defendant named in the complaint as

“Officer Wenk.” (See Summons Returned Unexecuted as to Certified Towing, filed July 25,

2007; Summons Returned Unexecuted as to Wenk, filed July 25, 2007.) 

On February 4, 2008, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. At a case management

conference held on March 28, 2008, the Court ordered plaintiff to provide, no later than

April 11, 2008, information sufficient for the Marshal to serve all defendants named in the

amended complaint who had not been served, specifically defendants Certified Towing,

William Zenk, and Corporal Hartung. On April 7, 2008, plaintiff submitted a filing titled

“Names and Addresses of Defendants,” wherein plaintiff supplies an address for Certified

Towing (954 Hensley Avenue, Richmond, California 94801) and an address for William

Zenk and Corporal Hartung, (El Cerrito Police Department, Manilla and San Pablo

Avenues, El Cerrito 94530). (See Pl.’s “Names and Addresses of Defendants” filed April 7,

2008.) 

Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is hereby DIRECTED to issue summons for

defendants named in the Amended Complaint as “William Zenk,” “Corporal Hartung,” and

“Certified Towing,” and forward such summonses, along with a copy of plaintiff’s “Names

and Addresses of Defendants” (Doc. No. 52), to the United States Marshal for purposes of

service. Additionally, the United States Marshal is hereby DIRECTED to serve such

summonses, without prepayment of fees, together with a copy of the amended complaint

and this order, upon said defendants at the addresses specified by plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
