ORDER NOTIFYING PARTIES OF CASE

STATUS

Plaintiff David Maurice Gomez (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 17, 2006, the Honorable Oliver W. Wanger

granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Defendants Scribner,

Rocha, andCostellowere granted summary adjudication on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendmentfailure-toprotect claim, Defendants Saddi, Bailey, and German were granted summary adjudication on

Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment medical care claim, and Defendants Saddi, Bailey, and German were

denied summary adjudication on Plaintiff’sEighthAmendment failure-to-protect claim. This matter

is ready to be set for trial on Plaintiff’s failure-to-protect claim against Defendants Saddi, Bailey, and

German. However, service of process is still outstanding as to Defendant Luna. The Court issued

an order directing the United States Marshal to re-attempt service on Defendant Luna on September

9, 2005. The Marshal was informed in January of 2006 that CSP-Corcoran had not received the

waiver, and the waiver was again mailed to Corcoran on January 25, 2006. If Defendant is

identified, Defendant has sixty days to return the waiver. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d). If Defendant does

not waive service, but has been identified, personal service must then be initiated. Id.
