IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANGELO QUINTIN DOWNEY, No. CIV S-04-1725-GEB-CMK

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

K. PROSPER,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brings this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 2, 2005, the court served orders on plaintiff

at the California Correctional Center in Susanville, California. The Court’s records indicates that

these orders were returned as undeliverable because they were refused by plaintiff. On March 22,

2005, the court issued findings and recommendations that this action be dismissed pursuant to

Eastern District of California Local Rule 11-110 and 83-182(f) for lack of prosecution. On March

24, 2005, plaintiff filed a document indicating that he had been transferred to a different housing

area within the California Correctional Center. On April 14, 2005, plaintiff filed objections to the

court’s March 22, 2005, findings and recommendations stating that he had not refused any legal

mail but that prison officials were not delivering his mail to his new location. The court notes

that the address provided by plaintiff on both his recent filings matches the address of record

reflected on the court’s docket. 

Given that plaintiff filed objections to the court’s March 22, 2005, findings and

recommendations, it appears that plaintiff is now receiving his legal mail. In the interest of

justice, the court will provide plaintiff an additional opportunity to prosecute this action.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The court’s March 22, 2005, findings and recommendations are vacated;

2. Service of plaintiff’s complaint is appropriate for defendant K. Prosper;

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

summons, an instruction sheet, and a copy of the complaint filed July 28, 2004;

4. Within 30 days of the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall complete

the attached Notice of Submission of Documents and submit the following documents to the

court:

a. The completed Notice of Submission of Documents;

b. One completed summons;

c. One completed USM-285 form; and

d. Two copies of the endorsed complaint filed July 28, 2004;

5. Upon receipt of the above-described documents, the court will direct the

United States Marshal to serve the defendant pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4

without payment of costs.

DATED: September 26, 2005.
