information through discovery on defendant Koford, the California

Public Records Act, California Government Code § 6250, et seq.,

or any other means available but must proceed with haste because

Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires an action be dismissed as to a

defendant not served within 120 days after filing the complaint

unless the time is enlarged based upon a demonstration of good

cause. If plaintiff’s access to the required information is

denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial

intervention.

Accordingly:

1. The clerk of the court shall mail plaintiff one form

USM-285 and a copy of the pleading filed January 16, 2004.

2. Within 90 days from the date this order is signed,

plaintiff may submit the attached Notice of Submission of

Documents with a completed form USM-285 providing instructions

for service of process upon defendant Oh and two copies of the

pleading provided to plaintiff. 

3. If plaintiff does not provide new instructions for

service of process upon defendant Oh within the time allowed or

show good cause for such failure I will recommend this action be

dismissed as to that defendant.

So ordered.

Dated: May 10, 2005.
