service appropriate for defendants Guirbino and Sahota. That order gave plaintiff 30 days to

20

submit the documents necessary for service of process on defendants and warned plaintiff that

failure to comply with the order could result in dismissal of this case. The time for acting has

22

passed and plaintiff has failed to comply with or otherwise respond to the court’s order.1

Although it appears from the file that plaintiff’s copy of the order was returned, plaintiff
was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current
address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of
the party is fully effective.
