This action proceeds against the following eight defendants: Bick, Enriquez,

Grannis, Andreasen, Klingman, Sullwold, Sawker, and Gutierrez. Defendants Bick, Enriquez,

Grannis, Andreasen, and Klingman have appeared. On May 10, 2007, the court recommended

dismissal of the action as against defendant Klingman. Defendants Sullwold, Sawker, and

Gutierrez, however, have not been served. As to defendants Sullwold and Sawker, the United

Sates Marshal has indicated that more identifiers are needed to locate these individuals. As to

defendant Gutierrez, the United States Marshal has indicated that this defendant is no longer

employed at California State Prison – Solano.

On January 3, 2007, the court issued an order directing plaintiff to provide

additional identifying information for these three defendants in order to allow the United States

Marshal to effect service of process. Plaintiff was advised of the various means at his disposal

for seeking such additional information and was cautioned that failure to provide information

sufficient to serve these defendants could result in an order dismissing them under Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 4(m), which requires timely service of process. To date, plaintiff has not

provided any additional information. Therefore, dismissal of defendants Sullwold, Sawker and

Gutierrez appears to be appropriate.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall show cause, in

writing, within 30 days of the date of this order, why defendants Sullwold, Sawker, and Gutierrez

should not be dismissed pursuant to Rule 4(m). 

DATED: October 1, 2007
