FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES L. BROOKS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-2343 DFL PAN P

vs.

EDWARD S. ALAMEIDA, JR., et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. Plaintiff

seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On August 23, 2005, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve the

complaint on defendants. Process directed to defendant Watson was returned unserved because 

the United States Marshal was unable to locate said defendant with the information provided. On

July 5, 2006, plaintiff filed a request for a further order to the United States Marshal to serve

defendant Watson, or to substitute the person who has replaced Dr. Watson at High Desert State

Prison (High Desert) if, as indicated on the return of service, Dr. Watson is no longer at High

Desert. The claim raised against Dr. Watson is personal to said defendant, and plaintiff seeks

money damages on the claim. There are no grounds in the record that support substitution of

another physician at High Desert as a defendant in this action. Plaintiff will, however, be given
