Defendants.
Ramos, D.J.:
In the Court’s September 12, 2023 Order of Service, the Court also included a Valentin
Order directing the Defendants to identify the John Doe defendants by November 13, 2023.
Doc. 10 at 6–7. Plaintiff was directed to file a second amended complaint thirty days thereafter,
naming the John Doe defendants. Id. On October 17, 2023, the Court inadvertently set
November 13, 2023 as the deadline for Plaintiff to file his second amended complaint. Doc. 21.
Defendants have also informed the Court that Plaintiff has refused to sign the necessary
releases to enable them to identify the John Doe defendants. Doc 22. Defendants therefore ask
that the Court compel Plaintiff to execute the releases and warn Plaintiff that failure to do so is
grounds for dismissal for failure to prosecute. Id.
�e Court directs Plaintiff to execute the requested releases by November 21, 2023.
Failure to do so may result in dismissal for failure to prosecute, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41(b). Moreover, the Court extends Defendants’ time to comply with the Court’s

Valentin Order and identify the John Doe defendants until January 22, 2024. Plaintiff’s deadline
to file his second amended complaint is also extended to February 21, 2024.
It is SO ORDERED.
