No. 2:16-cv-3020 JAM KJN P
Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

15

Defendant.

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se. Plaintiff filed objections to the pending

18

findings and recommendations, and in his second objection, plaintiff claims he was not served

19

with the findings and recommendations until September 12, 2018. In addition, due to a

20

lockdown, as well as having two other court deadlines, plaintiff states he was unable to “respond,

21

object, or comply with the” August 15, 2018 order requiring plaintiff to provide the documents

22

for service of process. Plaintiff did not provide the service of process documents with his

23

objections.

24

The court notes that plaintiff did not seek an extension of time in which to comply with

25

the order. Thus, it is unclear whether plaintiff intends to comply with the order since he was first

26

ordered to provide the documents for service of process by order filed June 22, 2018. But,

27

because plaintiff is proceeding pro se, plaintiff will be granted one final opportunity to provide

28

the documents for service of process. If plaintiff fails to timely provide such documents, the
1

1

undersigned will forward the findings and recommendations and plaintiff’s objections to the

2

district court for review.

3

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff is granted twenty-one days in

4

which to comply with the June 22, 2018 and August 15, 2018 orders. Failure to timely respond

5

will result in the dismissal of this action.
