UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE A. RODRIGUEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEPUTY SHERIFF OHERA,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-05646-HSG (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO 

REISSUE SUMMONS

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Solano County Jail, filed the instant pro se civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging deprivations of his constitutional rights by the actions of 

defendant Deputy Sheriff Ohera at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond, California, 

where he was formerly incarcerated. On January 30, 2015, the Court directed the Clerk to prepare 

the summons for service of the complaint upon defendant Ohera and the United States Marshal to 

effectuate such service. On February 6, 2015, the Marshal returned the summons unexecuted.

The Court notes that the order of service and summons misspelled defendant's name as 

“Ottera” rather than “Ohera.” The failure to serve this defendant was at no fault of plaintiff. 

Accordingly, the Court will reissue summons.

CONCLUSION

1. The Clerk of the Court shall reissue summons and the United States Marshal shall 

serve, without prepayment of fees, a copy of the complaint in this matter, all attachments thereto, a 

copy of the Court Order filed January 30, 2015 (Docket No. 10), and a copy of this Order upon 

defendant Deputy Sheriff Ohera at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond, 

California. The Clerk shall also mail a courtesy copy of this order to the Contra Costa County 

Counsel’s Office.
