IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE I. JOHNSON, No. CIV S-06-1745-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

SCOT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Process directed to defendants Lynch and Martinez was returned unexecuted on

January 25, 2007, because the United States Marshal was unable to identify them based on the

information provided by plaintiff. On February 8, 2007, the court issued an order advising

plaintiff of ways in which he could obtain more identifying information, including the use of the

civil discovery process. To date, plaintiff has not provided additional identifying information,

and defendants Lynch and Martinez remain unserved. Dismissal of these defendants pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m), which requires timely service, appears to be appropriate.
