Case No. 17-cv-07197-SI
ORDER RE: DOE DEFENDANTS

v.
REDWOOD NATIONAL AND STATE
PARKS DEPARTMENT, et al.,

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Defendants.

13

Plaintiff has contacted the Court’s courtroom deputy, Ms. Kasamoto, requesting that the

14

U.S. Marshal hold off on serving the amended complaint until plaintiff has identified the names of

15

the Doe defendants. The Court informs plaintiff that service of the amended complaint on the

16

named defendants is already underway, and that the Court finds that it is more efficient for the

17

named defendants to be served at this time rather than to delay service until the Doe defendants

18

have been identified.

19

The Court informs plaintiff that service may be ordered upon the eight “Doe” defendants

20

once plaintiff has supplied the Court with their names and addresses. Plaintiff may inform the

21

Court of the names and addresses in a letter, and need not file a second amended complaint.

22

Finally, the Court is in receipt of a letter that plaintiff mailed to the Court, which attached

23

proposed summons for the named defendants. Plaintiff did not e-file that document. Plaintiff is

24

reminded that all documents that are sent to the Court must also be e-filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
