However, in as much as Defendants have appeared in this case based on the notice of removal 

and it is HEREBY ORDERED that the January 13, 2020, order is VACATED as unnecessary, and 

Defendants C. Baker and J. Navarro are directed to file a response to the first amended complaint 

within thirty days from the date of service of this order. Plaintiff is advised that the Court cannot order 

service of a Doe defendant as Plaintiff is required to identify him or him with enough information to 

locate the defendant for service of process. Once of the identity of a Doe defendant is ascertained, the 

Plaintiff must file a motion to amend his complaint only to identify the Doe defendant. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
