Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
JOHN R. SONGS, et al.,
Defendants.

17
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to
18
42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 19, 2019, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve
19
the complaint on defendants. Process directed to defendant H. Given and John R. Songs was
20
returned unexecuted because there is no record of H. Given or John R. Songs. Plaintiff must
21
provide additional information to serve this defendant. Plaintiff shall promptly seek such
22
information through discovery, the California Public Records Act, Cal. Gov't. Code § 6250, et
23
seq., or other means available to plaintiff. If access to the required information is denied or
24
unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention. Once additional information
25
sufficient to effect service is obtained, plaintiff shall notify the court whereupon plaintiff will be
26
forwarded the forms necessary for service by the U.S. Marshal. Plaintiff is cautioned that failure
27
to effect service may result in the dismissal of unserved defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall promptly seek

once such information is ascertained.
