UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AARON JAMES PIERCE,

Plaintiff,

v.

DOCTOR BARON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:08-cv-1148 MCE DAD P

ORDER

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

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

On September 10, 2014, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve the 

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

according to the Marshal’s Office they were “unable to locate” Baron. Plaintiff must provide 

additional information to serve this defendant. Plaintiff shall promptly seek such information 

through discovery, the California Public Records Act, Calif. Gov’t. Code § 6250, et seq., or other 

means available to plaintiff. The court cautions plaintiff that when service of a complaint is not 

made upon a defendant within 120 days after the complaint was filed, the court may be required 

to dismiss plaintiff’s claims against that defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).
