UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON DEAVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARGARET MIMS, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:11-cv-01736-LJO-SKO PC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

DEFAULT SHOULD NOT BE ENTERED 

AGAINST DEFENDANT P. NARAYAN 

(Doc. 23)

TWENTY-DAY RESPONSE DEADLINE

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK’S OFFICE TO 

SERVE COURTESY COPIES ON FRESNO 

COUNTY JAIL AND FRESNO COUNTY 

COUNSEL’S OFFICE

Plaintiff Jason Deaver, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on October 17, 2011. This action for damages is 

proceeding against Defendant P. Narayan, M.D., for denial of adequate medical care, in violation 

of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.1 The events at issue occurred at the 

Fresno County Jail.

On August 7, 2013, the United States Marshal returned notice of personal service executed 

on Defendant Narayan. (Doc. 23.) Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s amended complaint was 

due by August 2, 2013, but no response has been filed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d), 12(a)(1)(A)(i).

It is unclear if Plaintiff was a pretrial detainee or a convicted prisoner at the time of the events at the Fresno County 

Jail. If he was a convicted prisoner, his claim arises under the Eighth Amendment rather than the Due Process Clause.
