Plaintiff was ordered on November 24, 2008, to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for his failure to comply with the court's earlier order, issued on July 23, 2008. That earlier order directed plaintiff to provide the U.S. Marshal with all information necessary to effect service of process on the remaining defendants.1 Plaintiff timely filed a response wherein he asked for additional time to provide the requisite documents to the U.S. Marshal. He also requested reconsideration of the court's determination that this action should not proceed against the California State Licensing Board or The court previously found that the complaint states a claim only as to the city defendants' alleged issuance of baseless code violations. Accordingly, the court ordered that the action will proceed only as to defendants the City of Sacramento, Code Enforcement Department; the Sacramento City Manager's Office, the Sacramento Police Department, Melody Lane, Guss Pina, Jason Contreis, Josh Pino, Ron O'Connor, Max Fernandez, Brian Ramsey, Caroline McNorton, Benjamin Rolison, and Ricardo Vargas.
