UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KEVIN ANGELO BECKETT, JR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

S. BANAAG, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:18-cv-2655 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights 

complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed July 31, 2019, this court found 

service of plaintiff’s complaint appropriate for sole defendant S. Banaag. ECF No. 14. However, 

repeated attempts to serve process on defendant have been unsuccessful. Initially the court 

directed the United States Marshal (USM) to service process on defendant at his place of 

employment with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), ECF No. 

10, but this proved unsuccessful, ECF No. 13. Next the court directed CDCR to electronically 

serve process on defendant at his most recent place of CDCR employment, ECF No. 14, which 

was also unsuccessful, ECF No. 17. Finally, the court requested that the Office of the California

process on defendant at his last known personal address were also unsuccessful, despite three 

attempts. ECF No. 25. 

 For this case to proceed, plaintiff must provide accurate information to serve defendant. 

Plaintiff may attempt to obtain such information through the California Public Records Act, Calif. 

Gov’t. Code § 6250, et seq., or other means available to plaintiff. The court has no other options 

for assisting plaintiff in this endeavor. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff one USM-285 form. 

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

 A. Complete and submit to the court the attached Notice of Submission of 

Documents, with one completed USM-285 form for defendant S. Banaag, which provides 

new and accurate information for serving process on defendant; 

 OR 

 B. Demonstrate in writing good cause why plaintiff cannot provide such 

information. 

 3. Failure to serve process on defendant within a reasonable period will result in a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). 

DATED: January 30, 2020
