IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARYL LYONS, No. CIV S-02-1355-LKK-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

KNOWLES, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In response to the court’s May 26, 2006, order regarding unserved

defendants Frates, Voss, Roberson, Dragash, Haynes, and Knowles, plaintiff stated that he had

additional information to attempt service on defendants Voss and Frates. As to the remaining

unserved defendants, plaintiff requested unspecified court assistance. On June 22, 2006, the

court issued an order which: (1) forwarded plaintiff documents necessary for service as to Voss

and Frates by the United States Marshal; and (2) advised plaintiff as to various methods of

discovering further information for service of the remaining unserved defendants. The court

required plaintiff to return service documents within 30 days of the date of the order. To date,

plaintiff has not complied.

Plaintiff will, therefore, be required to show cause in writing why, as an

appropriate sanction for failure to comply with the court’s order, unserved defendants Voss and

Frates should not be dismiss. See Local Rule 11-110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). Plaintiff is advised

that submission of the documents outlined in the court’s June 22, 2006, order within the time

provided herein will be considered an adequate response to this order to show cause. Plaintiff is

cautioned, however, that failure to respond to this order may result in the dismissal of the entire

action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court orders. See Local Rule 11-110. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall show cause in

writing within 30 days of the date of service of this order why unserved defendants Voss and

Frates should not be dismissed as an appropriate sanction for plaintiff’s failure to comply with

the court’s June 22, 2006, order.

DATED: August 3, 2006.
