Eastern District of California 

George L. Aaron,

Plaintiff, No. Civ. S 05-0173 LKK PAN P

vs. Order

Dickinson, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoPlaintiff is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and

without counsel in a civil rights action. 

The United States Marshal has returned process directed to

defendant Sandham unserved. A waiver of service was forwarded to

his new employer, California Correctional Center, P.O. Box 790,

Susanville, California 96127-0790, but service could not be

accepted because “Dr. Sandham is not available due to medical

issues that preclude him from accepting service at this time.” 

Plaintiff must provide new information about where this defendant

may be served with process. Plaintiff may seek such information

through discovery, the California Public Records Act, California

Government Code § 6250, et seq., or any other means available but

must proceed with haste because Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires an

action be dismissed as to a defendant not served within 120 days

after filing the complaint unless the time is enlarged based upon

a demonstration of good cause. If plaintiff’s access to the

required information is denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff

may seek judicial intervention.

Accordingly:

1. The clerk of the court shall mail plaintiff one form

USM-285 and a copy of the pleading filed January 27, 2005.

2. Within 90 days from the date this order is signed,

plaintiff may submit the attached Notice of Submission of

Documents with a completed form USM-285 providing instructions

for service of process upon defendant Sandham and two copies of

the pleading provided to plaintiff. 

3. If plaintiff does not provide new instructions for

service of process upon defendant Sandham within the time allowed

or show good cause for such failure I will recommend this action

be dismissed as to that defendant.

So ordered.

Dated: July 7, 2005.
