Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed the present pro se prisoner complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Thereafter, the Court issued its Order of Service.
Service has been ineffective on Defendants Correctional Officer R. Morring,1 as well as
Nurses Walker, Will/William/Williams,2 Gee, and Laduke at Salinas Valley State Prison (SVSP). In
an Order dated January 30, 2013, Plaintiff was directed to provide the Court with the required
information necessary to locate each of these Defendants. He was also informed that the failure to
do so shall result in the dismissal of all claims against these Defendants.
Plaintiff has provided the requested information as to Defendants Morring, Walker, and
Laduke. Therefore, the Clerk of the Court shall re-serve those Defendants. However, Plaintiff
indicates that he is unable to provide the Court with the required information necessary to locate
Defendants Will/William/William and Gee. The Court construes Plaintiff's request as a motion for
an extension of time to provide the Court with the necessary information as to these Defendants.
Having read and considered Plaintiff's request, and good cause appearing,

In his response, Plaintiff corrected the spelling of Officer Morring's name to "Morring" instead
of "Mooring," which was the way it was spelled in his complaint. (Pl.'s Response at 1; Compl. at 1.)
Therefore, the Court will refer to him as Officer Morring.

In his response, Plaintiff refers to Nurse Will as Nurse "William" or Nurse "Williams." (Pl.'s
Response at 1.) Plaintiff referred to this Defendant as Nurse "Will" in his complaint. (Compl. at 8.)
At this time, Plaintiff has failed to provide the correct spelling of this Defendant's last name; therefore,
the Court will refer to this Defendant as "Will/William/Williams." The Court will also direct Plaintiff
to provide the correct last name of this Defendant.

1

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's request for an extension of time is GRANTED.

2

The time in which Plaintiff may provide the Court with the required information necessary to locate

3

Defendants Will/William/William and Gee will be extended up to and including twenty-eight (28)

4

days from the date of this Order. Plaintiff shall also indicate which is the correct last name of

5

Defendant Will/William/William. Failure to do so by the new deadline shall result in the dismissal

6

of all claims against Defendants Will/William/William and Gee.

7

This Order terminates Docket no. 19.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
