FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
/
15
Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and without counsel in a civil rights
16
17
action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 23, 2011, process was returned unexecuted
18
because defendant Sahota could not be located. On April 5, 2011, the court directed plaintiff to
19
provide new instructions for service of process upon defendant Sahota. Plaintiff has not
20
provided new instructions for service of process upon defendant Sahota or otherwise responded
21
to the court’s order. The court has given plaintiff two opportunities to locate defendant Sahota
22
and warned plaintiff that failure to provide new instructions or to show good cause for such
23
failure would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed as to that defendant. See
24
Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) (service of process must be effected within 120 days of the filing of the
25
complaint unless plaintiff demonstrates good cause).

5
after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
6
objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
