UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JAMES CURTIS KERN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JIM COOPER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:23-cv-0618 WBS AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to submit completed USM-285 forms. ECF 

No. 38. He states that the Sacramento County Jail has not responded to his requests for 

defendants’ addresses and requests assistance in serving a subpoena to obtain this information. 

Id. Good cause appearing, the request for an extension of time will be granted. However, the 

request for assistance serving a subpoena will be denied. It appears that plaintiff is attempting to 

obtain defendants’ home addresses, which is not necessary for service at this time. Instead, 

plaintiff should provide defendants’ work addresses. If service cannot be accomplished at the 

addresses provided, the United States Marshall will be authorized to obtain any necessary 

assistance from the county to locate defendants and the court will direct plaintiff to provide 

additional information as necessary. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 38) is GRANTED;
