UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TREVOR JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. HENSON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:04-CV-5092-AWI-LJO-P

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE AND DENYING MOTION TO

COMPEL AS PREMATURE

(Docs. 21 and 24) 

Plaintiff Trevor Johnson (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 8, 2004, the court

issued an order requiring plaintiff to show cause why defendant Aguillar should not be dismissed

from this action based on plaintiff’s failure to provide information sufficient to effect service of

process. (Doc. 21.) On December 8, 2004, plaintiff filed a response to the order to show cause and

a motion to compel. (Doc. 24.) Defendants filed an opposition to the motion to compel on

December 17, 2004. (Doc. 25.)

At this juncture, the need for discovery relating to the identity of defendant Aguillar is

unnecessary. The court will discharge its order to show cause and, in a separate order issued

concurrently with this order, direct the United States Marshal to again attempt service on defendant

Aguillar. In the event that the Marshal is again unsuccessful in identifying defendant Aguillar,

plaintiff may attempt to obtain discoverable information on defendant Aguillar once discovery is

open.
