UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHN FRATUS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MAZYCK, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0076-KJM-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendant Lay, noting 

that Lay could not be located based on the information provided by plaintiff and that Lay is no 

longer employed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. ECF No. 15. 

Therefore, plaintiff must provide new information about how to locate defendant Lay for service 

of process. Plaintiff must proceed with haste because Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires that an action 

be dismissed as to a defendant not served within 90 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 unreasonably denied or delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that: 

1. The Clerk of the Court shall mail plaintiff a form USM-285.
