Plaintiff Durrell Anthony Puckett (“Plaintiff”') is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on Plaintiff's first amended complaint against: (1) Defendants Baraona, Burneszki, Leos, Hernandez, Diaz, and Doe 1 for excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment; (2) Defendant Leos for sexual assault in violation of the Eighth Amendment; and (3) Defendants A. Ruiz, Martinez, E. Ruiz, Meiers, Gutierrez, A. Cruz, K. Cronister, and Jane Doe Nurse for failure to protect in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
Defendants Baraona, Burneszki, Leos, Hernandez, Diaz, A. Ruiz, E. Ruiz, Gutierrez and K.

Electronic service has been ordered for Defendants Martinez, Meiers, and A. Cruz. (ECF No. 30.)
On March 17, 2022, the Court directed Plaintiff to provide the Court with written notice identifying Defendants Doe 1 and Jane Doe Nurse with enough information to locate the defendants for service of process. (ECF No. 21.) Plaintiff's written notice identifying these defendants was due on or before June 15, 2022.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. Within twenty-one (21) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall provide the Court with written notice identifying Defendants Doe 1 and Jane Doe Nurse with enough information to locate the defendants for service of process, or shall show cause in writing why Defendants Doe 1 and Jane Doe Nurse should not be dismissed from this action for failure to prosecute; and
2. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in the dismissal of any unidentified defendants from this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
