ORDER
Plaintiff is a prisoner who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On December 2, 2009, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve the complaint on defendants. Process directed to defendant Ralls was returned unserved because there is no individual by that name employed at California State Prison-Sacramento and no employee by that name could be identified by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Plaintiff must provide additional information to serve this defendant. Plaintiff shall promptly seek such information through discovery, the California Public Records Act, Calif. Gov't. Code § 6250, et seq., or other means available to plaintiff. If access to the required information is denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send to plaintiff one USM-285 form, along with an instruction sheet and a copy of the complaint filed October 10, 2008;
2. Within sixty days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall complete and submit the attached Notice of Submission of Documents to the court, with the following documents:
a. One completed USM-285 form for defendant Ralls;
b. Two copies of the endorsed complaint filed October 10, 2008; and
c. One completed summons form (if not previously provided) or show good cause why he cannot provide such information.
