CASE NO. 1:04-CV-5358-OWW-LJO-P

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS’

COUNSEL TO NOTIFY COURT WHY

DEFENDANT HOLCOLM DID NOT JOIN IN

ANSWER

(Doc. 50)

Plaintiff Eric Martin (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on plaintiff’s second amended

complaint against defendants Aguirre, Gracey, Huerta, and Holcolm. On July 14, 2005, the Court

ordered the United States Marshal to initiate service of process. On September 21, 2005, defendants

Aguirre, Gracey, Huerta, and Holcolm filed a request for an extension of time to file a response to

plaintiff’s second amended complaint, and on September 29, 2005, the summonses and waivers of

service for defendants Aguirre, Gracey, and Huerta were returned to the court. On November 18,

2005, defendants Aguirre, Gracey, and Huerta filed an answer. Defendant Holcolm, although named

in the request for an extension of time, was not named in the answer, and service documents have

not yet been returned for this defendant.
