Case No. 1:17-cv-00626-DAD-EPG (PC)
ORDER AUTHORIZING SERVICE OF
COMPLAINT AND DIRECTING
CLERK TO COMPLETE SERVICE
DOCUMENTS

BRIAN BAKER,
Defendant.

(ECF NO. 1)

Craig Voss (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in
this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

18

On June 13, 2017, the Court found service of the complaint appropriate, and directed

19

Plaintiff to complete and return service documents. (ECF No. 11). After Plaintiff completed

20

and returned those documents, the Court directed the United States Marshals Service

21

(“USMS”) to serve defendant Baker. (ECF No. 13). The summons was returned unexecuted.

22

(ECF No. 14). The USMS served Plaintiff at the address provided, but California Correctional

23

Institution (“CCI”) was unable to accept service on behalf of defendant Baker. (Id.). CCI

24

provided the USMS with the address it had on file for defendant Baker, but the waiver of

25

service was returned as undeliverable when it was mailed to that address. (Id.).

26

After some discovery, the Court has been provided with two addresses for defendant

27

Baker. Therefore, the Court will once again authorize service, and will direct the Clerk of

28

Court to prepare the service documents.

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

2

1. Service is appropriate for the following defendant(s):

3

a. Brian Baker, a licensed vocational nurse at California Correctional

4

Institution in 2016.

5

2. The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare the service documents for this case, but

6

shall leave all sections asking for Defendant’s address blank. When the Clerk

7

forwards the service documents to the United States Marshals Service, the Clerk

8

shall also send Defendant’s addresses to the United States Marshals Service in

9

an envelope marked confidential.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
