ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s “Order Arizona Dept of Corrections to

Furnish Address for (A Sanchez)” [sic]. (Doc. 13) Plaintiff commenced his civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on March 1, 2012. (Doc. 1) Neither Defendant has yet

been served. (Docs. 14, 15) Plaintiff now alleges that he has been informed that Defendant

Sanchez was fired based on conduct involving Plaintiff. Because Plaintiff does not have

Defendant Sanchez’ current address, he asks the Court to order Director Ryan to provide

Plaintiff with Defendant Sanchez’ last known address. 

Plaintiff has not provided the Court with any information regarding the steps he has

taken to obtain the address of Defendant Sanchez, such as searching the internet, telephone

books, or other public records to secure a valid address for Defendant Sanchez. Rather, he

asks the Court to Order ADOC Director Charles Ryan to provide service information on

Defendant Sanchez so that service can be accomplished. 

In an abundance of caution, the Court will grant Plaintiff an extension of time to

complete service to permit him to conduct discovery to secure the requisite service

information for Defendant Sanchez. The Court will allow Plaintiff until September 12, 2012

to either provide the last known address of Defendant Sanchez to the United States Marshal

Service or to identify the proper employee at the ADOC who can provide the service

information needed by the Marshals to serve the Complaint, and secure the information

through subpoena or otherwise. The Marshal’s inability to affect service on Plaintiff’s behalf

is good cause for the extension of time. Pruett v. Blandford, 912 F.2d 270, 276 (9th Cir.

1990).

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Request to Order the Arizona Department of

Corrections to Furnish the Address for (A Sanchez) [sic], doc. 13, is DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall have until September 12, 2012 to

discover by subpoena or otherwise the service information for Defendant Sanchez. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall issue and send

Plaintiff five subpoenas in blank.

 Dated this 13th day of July, 2012.
