ORDER

M. GOMEZ, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

17
18

U.S.C. § 1983. The United States Marshal has returned process directed to defendant Green, with

19

a notation indicating that the individual could not be located because “4 Greens [were] working

20

[in the] area at [the] time of event in complaint.” ECF No. 26. Therefore, plaintiff must provide

21

new information about how to locate defendant Green for service of process. Plaintiff must

22

proceed with haste because Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires that an action be dismissed as to a

23

defendant not served within 120 days after filing the complaint unless the time is enlarged based

24

upon a demonstration of good cause. If plaintiff’s access to the required information is

25

unreasonably denied or delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention.

26

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

27

1. The Clerk of the Court shall mail plaintiff a form USM-285.

5

such failure will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed as to defendant Green.
