Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0776 LKK EFB P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS., et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

action. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendant R. Kelly unserved

because “no R. Kelly in CDC data base, need more info.” 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.
