FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC CHARLES RODNEY KNAPP,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-2520 FCD CMK P

vs.

RODERICK HICKMAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Service of plaintiff’s amended complaint was originally ordered on January 1,

2007. Subsequently, on February 2, 2007, there was a return of service unexecuted as to

defendants Olson, Warvarovski, Danzinger, Marshall, Gunning, and Murray. On February 20, 1

2007, the court ordered defendant to provide additional information to serve these defendants via

discovery, the California Public Records Act, or other means available to him. The court also

informed plaintiff that, if the required information was denied or unreasonably delayed, he could

seek judicial intervention. 

On April 11, 2007, plaintiff filed a request for judicial intervention, noting that

inquiries to the California Department of Corrections under the California Public Records Act

have gone unanswered. Plaintiff has obtained some information concerning defendants Gunning

and Olson from staff at Mule Creek State Prison. Plaintiff has obtained information sufficient to

serve defendant Danzinger. 

Defendants’ counsel shall query the Department of Corrections to ascertain the

whereabouts of defendants R. Gunning, Corrections Officer (who may have retired to Alaska or

Oregon, according to plaintiff); S. Marshall, Correctional Sergeant, Murray, Correctional

Sergeant; Carl Michel Warvarovski, M.D.; and Olson (who may have the first initial “D” and

whose last name may be spelled “Olsen”). The court notes, however, especially with regard to

defendant Olson, that it is ultimately plaintiff’s responsibility to properly identify the persons

that he wishes to bring suit against. Neither the Department of Corrections or defendants can be

held responsible for plaintiff’s failure to properly identify those he wishes to name as defendants. 

Defendants’ counsel shall file and serve the appropriate response within twenty

days of the date this order is filed. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: April 17, 2007.
