CAUSE WHY DEFENDANT OKRI SHOULD 

NOT BE DISMISSED FROM THIS ACTION 

FOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT 

INFORMATION TO EFFECTUATE SERVICE

(ECF No. 24)

Plaintiff Atwone Stokes (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on Plaintiff’s 

first amended complaint against Defendants Cheek, Okri, and Alverez (“Defendants”) for failure 

to protect and denial of medical care in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

On December 23, 2024, the Court issued an order directing service on Defendants under 

the Court’s E-Service pilot program for civil rights cases for the Eastern District of California. 

(ECF No. 20.) However, on January 3, 2025, the Court received information that Defendant Okri 

could not be identified.

On January 6, 2025, the Court issued an order for Plaintiff to show cause why Defendant

Okri should not be dismissed from this action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) for 

failure to provide sufficient information to effectuate service. (ECF No. 24.) On January 10,

DISCHARGED. Service on Defendant Okri (Orcullo) will proceed under the Court’s E-Service 

pilot program.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
