JOHN A. INDIVERI, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

RICHARD MACK, et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No. 17-00595 BLF (PR) 

ORDER OF SERVICE ON 

DEFENDANT D. DO-WILLIAMS 

Plaintiff, a California state prisoner, proceeding pro se, filed a second amended civil 

rights complaint (“SAC”) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against medical personnel at the 

Salinas Valley State Prison (“SVSP”) and the medical appeals office. (Docket No. 38.) 

On August 9, 2018, the Court screened the SAC and directed the Clerk of the Court to mail 

service documents to Defendants Ellen Greenman, MD, and Kathryn Graham at SVSP. 

(Docket No. 47.) The Court also provided Plaintiff a final opportunity to provide the 

Court with more information for Defendant D. Do-Williams.1

 (Id.) On August 30, 2018, 

 

1 Defendant D. Do-Williams was a party to Plaintiff’s original and first amended 

complaints, (Docket Nos. 1, 18), and had previously been issued an order of service at 

SVSP. (Docket No. 6.) The Litigation Coordinator of SVSP sent a letter to the Court 

stating that Defendant D. Do-Williams had transferred to California Health Care Facility 

(“CHCF”) in Stockton. (Docket No. 15.) The Court’s attempt to serve the matter on 

Defendant Do-Williams at CHCF was unsuccessful. (See Docket Nos. 16, 25.)

Plaintiff filed a notice in response to the Court’s August 9, 2018 Order, providing two 

addresses. (Docket No. 52.) The first address provided, P.O. Box 1315, Galt, CA 95632, 

is the address of record with the Medical Board of California. (Id., Ex. A.) The second 

address, 7707 Austin Road, Stockton, CA 95215, is listed as a place of practice. (Id., Ex. 

B.) Based on the information provided, the Court will order the matter served on 

Defendant D. Do-Williams at the address provided as her place of practice. 

CONCLUSION 

For the reasons state above, the Court orders as follows: 

 1. The Clerk of the Court shall mail a Notice of Lawsuit and Request for 

Waiver of Service of Summons, two copies of the Waiver of Service of Summons, a copy 

of the second amended complaint, (Docket No. 38), all attachments thereto, a copy of the 

Court’s August 9, 2018 Order, (Docket No. 47), and a copy of this order upon Defendant 

Dr. D. Do-Williams at 7707 Auston Rd. Stockton, CA 95215. The Clerk shall also mail 

a copy of this Order to Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants who have already appeared in 

this action. 

 2. Defendant is cautioned that Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure requires him to cooperate in saving unnecessary costs of service of the 

summons and the complaint. Pursuant to Rule 4, if Defendant, after being notified of this 

action and asked by the Court, on behalf of Plaintiff, to waive service of the summons, 

fails to do so, he will be required to bear the cost of such service unless good cause shown 

for their failure to sign and return the waiver form. If service is waived, this action will 

proceed as if Defendant had been served on the date that the waiver is filed, except that 

pursuant to Rule 12(a)(1)(B), Defendant will not be required to serve and file an answer 

before sixty (60) days from the day on which the request for waiver was sent. (This 

allows a longer time to respond than would be required if formal service of summons is 

necessary.) Defendant is asked to read the statement set forth at the foot of the waiver

form that more completely describes the duties of the parties with regard to waiver of 

service of the summons. If service is waived after the date provided in the Notice but 

before Defendant has been personally served, the Answer shall be due sixty (60) days from 

the date on which the request for waiver was sent or twenty (20) days from the date the 

waiver form is filed, whichever is later. 

 3. No later than ninety-one (91) days from the date this order is filed, 

Defendant shall file a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion with 

respect to the claims in the complaint found to be cognizable above. 

 a. Any motion for summary judgment shall be supported by adequate 

factual documentation and shall conform in all respects to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure. Defendant is advised that summary judgment cannot be granted, nor 

qualified immunity found, if material facts are in dispute. If Defendant is of the opinion 

that this case cannot be resolved by summary judgment, he shall so inform the Court prior 

to the date the summary judgment motion is due. 

 b. In the event Defendant files a motion for summary judgment, the 

Ninth Circuit has held that Plaintiff must be concurrently provided the appropriate 

warnings under Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 963 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc). See

Woods v. Carey, 684 F.3d 934, 940 (9th Cir. 2012). 

 4. Plaintiff’s opposition to the dispositive motion shall be filed with the Court 

and served on Defendant no later than twenty-eight (28) days from the date Defendant’s 

motion is filed. 

 Plaintiff is also advised to read Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 

Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317 (1986) (holding party opposing summary judgment 

must come forward with evidence showing triable issues of material fact on every essential 

element of his claim). Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to file an opposition to 

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment may be deemed to be a consent by Plaintiff to 

the granting of the motion, and granting of judgment against Plaintiff without a trial. See

Procedure. No further court order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(a)(2) or Local

 10. It is Plaintiff’s responsibility to prosecute this case. Plaintiff must keep the 

court informed of any change of address and must comply with the court’s orders in a 

timely fashion. Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of this action for failure to 

prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

 11. Extensions of time must be filed no later than the deadline sought to be 

extended and must be accompanied by a showing of good cause. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
