UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of the United States 

Magistrate Judge on February 16, 2016. Local Rule 302.

This action is proceeding on Plaintiff’s first amended complaint against Defendant C. Chapa 

for sexual assault in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. On May 23, 2016, the Court ordered the 

United States Marshal to service the summons and complaint on Defendant Chapa. However, the 

Marshal was not able to locate Defendant Chapa and service was returned un-executed on October 6, 

2016. 

On October 7, 2016, the Court issued an order for Plaintiff to show cause why the action 

should not be dismissed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) for failure to serve Defendant 

Chapa. On December 2, 2016, Plaintiff filed a response to the order to show cause.
