Case No.: 1:21-cv-00990-DAD-SAB (PC)
ORDER FOR PLAINTIFF TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR SERVE
ON DEFENDANT SERNA
(ECF No. 20)

Plaintiff Morris Roberson is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On October 7, 2021, the Court found that service of Plaintiff’s complaint was appropriate as to

21

Defendants Fambrough, Johnson, Silva, Bedolla and Furlong for excessive force, against Defendants

22

Cruz and Rodriguez for failure to intervene claim, and against Defendants Serna, Rhodes, and Dr.

23

Goller for deliberate indifference. (ECF No. 15.)

24

On November 12, 2021, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation returned

25

a notice of intent to not waive personal service on Defendant Serna because “KVSP has never had an

26

employee by this name as a radiology technician.” (ECF No. 19.) Therefore, service of process was

27

forwarded to the United States Marshal. On November 16, 2021, the United States Marshal returned

28

the summons as unexecuted, noting that more information is necessary. (ECF No. 20.) Plaintiff will
1

1

be granted the opportunity to provide additional information regarding the identity of Defendant Serna

2

employed at Kern Valley State Prison as a radiology technician prior to the opening of discovery.
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days from the date of service

3
4

of this order, Plaintiff shall provide additional information regarding the identity of Defendant Serna,

5

if available, in order to effectuate service of the summons and complaint prior to discovery.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
