SWINGLE, et al., Defendants. / Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and without counsel in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 25, 2010, process was returned unexecuted because defendant Reglie could not be located. On July 16, 2010, the court directed plaintiff to provide new instructions for service of process upon defendant Reglie. Plaintiff has not provided new instructions for service of process upon defendant Reglie or otherwise responded to the court's order. The court has given plaintiff two opportunities to locate defendant Reglie and warned plaintiff that failure to provide new instructions or to show good cause for such failure would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed as to that defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) (Service of process must be effected within 120 days of the filing of the complaint unless plaintiff demonstrates good cause). ////
