Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1663 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a former California state prisoner, currently incarcerated in the Arkansas 

Valley Correctional Facility, who proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil rights 

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This order directs plaintiff to provide additional 

information for the United States Marshal to serve process on defendants Dr. Dale L. Syverson

 On October 2, 2019, the court directed the U.S. Marshal to serve the First Amended

Medical Center responded to the FAC. However, process directed to defendants Syverson and 

Schwartz were returned unserved. See ECF Nos. 31, 32. Plaintiff must provide additional 

information to serve these defendants. Plaintiff shall promptly seek such information through

Schwartz that were returned unexecuted (ECF Nos. 31 & 32). 

 2. Within sixty (60) days after the filing date of this order, plaintiff shall complete and 

submit to the court the attached Notice of Submission of Documents, together with the following 

documents:1

 a. One completed USM-285 form for each defendant; and 

 b. Two copies of the endorsed FAC filed April 22, 2019. 

 3. Briefing responsive to the motion to dismiss filed by defendant Banning Lassen 

Medical Center (ECF No. 30) is stayed until further order of this court; plaintiff need not respond 

to the motion until so directed by this court. 

DATED: February 28, 2020
