IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LINDA OSTROFSKY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-0987 MCE EFB PS

vs.

DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION, ORDER

JOHN MARTIN, KELLY COOK, and

DOES 1 through 25, inclusive,

Defendants. 

 /

This case was referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 72-302(c)(21). See 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On July 17, 2007, the court granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, and ordered her to file an amended complaint. After plaintiff lodged her third

amended complaint, the court entered an order on March 25, 2008, directing the Clerk to forward

to plaintiff a summons form and three USM-285 forms. Pursuant to that order, within 15 days

from the date that order was filed, plaintiff was to provide the United States Marshal with the

information to complete service of process. Plaintiff failed to do so.

On July 25, 2008, the court issued an order directing plaintiff to show cause within

twenty days, in writing, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

Plaintiff timely filed a written response, in which she indicated that she had been sick and

undergoing surgeries. She provided notes from her doctor to support those assertions. 

Good cause appearing, the order to show cause is discharged. Plaintiff is directed to refer

to the court’s March 25, 2008, order, and provide the United States Marshal with the information

to complete service of process consistent therewith. Plaintiff shall do so within fifteen days from

the date of service of this order. Failure to do so will result in a recommendation that this action

be dismissed. 

SO ORDERED

DATED: August 26, 2008.
