IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHAULTON J. MITCHELL,

Plaintiff, 

 v.

R. VALDIVIA, J. GARCIA, R. MCCOY,

E. SALINAS, JOHN DOE,

Defendants. /

No. C 08-00577 WHA (PR) 

ORDER DISMISSING ALL CLAIMS

AGAINST DEFENDANT JOHN DOE

On May 8, 2009, the court issued an order of service, directing the United States

Marshal to serve a summons and complaint on defendants R. Valdivia, J. Garcia, R. McCoy,

and E. Salinas, all of whom were alleged to be employees of Wasco State Prison Reception

Center (WSP). The court also found that Plaintiff "sufficiently stated a claim against a John

Doe defendant for violation of his constitutional rights . . . ." (May 8, 2009 Order at 2.) 

Plaintiff was directed to "file an amended complaint properly naming the appropriate

defendant" upon discovery of the identity of this defendant. (Id.) The court further noted that

"[s]hould plaintiff fail to timely name the defendant, the claim will be dismissed." (Id. at 3.)

In an order dated June 22, 2009, the court granted plaintiff a 30-day extension of time to

obtain the name of defendant John Doe.

To date, plaintiff has failed to timely provide the court with the name of defendant John

Doe, and the deadline for doing so has passed. Accordingly, the court DISMISSES all claims

against defendant John Doe.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
