IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER L. COLE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2735 MCE EFB P

vs.

LEA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and without counsel in a civil rights

action. 

The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendant Burns unserved

because they are unable to locate this defendant. 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.
