IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VERNON WAYNE MCNEAL,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-0441 GEB EFB P

vs.

EVERT, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff 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 Evert unserved

because there is no employee by that name at High Desert State Prison. 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.

service of process upon defendant Evert and 2 copies of the pleading provided to plaintiff.

action be dismissed as to that defendant.

Dated: May 21, 2007.
