RICHARD LANCE REYNOLDS,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. MERENDA,

Defendant.

Case No. 17-cv-04202-SI 

ORDER FOR SERVICE ON

DEFENDANT MERENDA

Re: Dkt. No. 20

Plaintiff filed a motion for a court order to compel the Correctional Training Facility –

Soledad (CTF-Soledad) to release defendant J. Merenda’s home address so that the U.S. Marshal 

could serve process on him. Docket No. 20. Court staff then made inquiries of the litigation 

coordinator at CTF-Soledad and learned that (a) Merenda has now authorized the litigation 

coordinator to accept service on his behalf and (b) the litigation coordinator has requested that the 

materials of service of process be mailed to him to accept on behalf of defendant Merenda. 

Plaintiff’s motion therefore is DISMISSED as moot. Docket No. 20. In order to move this case 

toward resolution:

1. The clerk shall mail to defendant J. Merenda the following documents: the summons, 

a copy of the amended complaint, a copy of the orders at Docket Nos. 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, and 19, as 

well as a copy of this order. The envelope should be addressed as follows: 

J. Merenda

Correctional Training Facility – Soledad

Attn: Litigation Coordinator

P.O. Box 686

Soledad, CA 93960

dispositive motions is set: 

a. No later than June 14, 2019, defendant must file and serve a motion for

 b. Plaintiff's opposition to the summary judgment or other dispositive motion 

must be filed with the court and served upon defendant no later than July 12, 2019. Plaintiff must 

bear in mind the notice and warning regarding summary judgment provided in the order for service 

of process on one defendant (Docket No. 14) as he prepares his opposition to any motion for 

summary judgment. 

c. If defendant wishes to file a reply brief, the reply brief must be filed and 

served no later than July 26, 2019.
