Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis seeking relief

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 27, 2005, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve process

on defendants. On July 1, 2005, process directed to defendant Ben Parsi was returned unserved

because there was “no defendant by this name on the CDC roster." 

On November 9, 2005, the court directed plaintiff to submit additional

information to enable service of process on this defendant and on December 2, 2005, plaintiff

complied. On December 8, 2005 the court directed the Marshal to serve this defendant but on

January 25, 2006, the Marshal returned process unserved because “per CDC locator, no info on

defendant.”
