The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendants Adams and Segerstrom unserved because "not at this address, not in the system." Plaintiff must provide new information about where this defendant may be served with process. Plaintiff may seek such information through discovery, the California Public Records Act, California Government Code §§ 6250, et seq., or any other means available but must proceed with haste because Fed.
