Case No. 14-cv-04674-HSG 

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF 

TIME TO LOCATE UNSERVED 

DEFENDANT

Re: Dkt. No. 38

Plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 22, 2015, the Court screened Plaintiff’s first amended complaint and 

ordered service on eight defendants, including Plaintiff’s former public defender, Judith A. 

Browne, for whom Plaintiff provided a home address for service. However, the Marshal was 

unable to serve defendant Browne because she moved from that address in late 2014 and the 

property manager did not know her current location. Docket No. 24. Accordingly, on September 

1, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to, by November 1, 2015, effect service on defendant Browne, 

or to submit to the Court sufficient information to identify and locate defendant Browne such that 

the Marshal is able to effect service. Plaintiff was cautioned that the failure to do so would result 

in dismissal of defendant Browne without prejudice pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure.

Now before the Court is Plaintiff’s request for a 30-day extension of time to locate

unserved defendant, Judith Browne is GRANTED. By February 20, 2016, Plaintiff must either 

effect service on defendant Browne or submit to the Court sufficient information to identify and 

locate defendant Browne such that the Marshal is able to effect service. Failure to do so will
