UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MONRELL D. MURPHY,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. PIERCE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:21-cv-1789 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a prisoner, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. Plaintiff seeks relief 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On October 4, 2021, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve the complaint on 

defendants. Process directed to defendant J. Lopez was returned unserved because “unable to 

identify, need more information.” 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. If 

access to the required information is denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial 

intervention.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send to plaintiff one USM-285 form, along with 

an instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint filed September 28, 2021;
