JAMES E. WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, v. R. MACK, Defendant.


ORDER REQUESTING MORE INFORMATION FOR DEFENDANT R. MACK

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court ordered service of plaintiffs civil rights complaint upon defendant. A notice of lawsuit and request for waiver of service of summons was mailed to the defendant at Salinas Valley State Prison ("SVSP'). On March 3, 2014, the documents were returned with a notation that the defendant was no longer at the institution. (Docket No. 9.) Accordingly, defendant R. Mack has not been served.

In response to the court's order directing plaintiff to provide accurate and current location information at which defendant may be served, plaintiff states that plaintiff "is from the state of Michigan and has no family or friends in [California] whom can assist in the whereabouts of defendant." (Docket No. 12.) He further states that defendant R. Mack was an employee at SVSP and requests the court to issue an order directing SVSP to provide "information for any last known addresses." (Id.)

In the interest of justice, the court requests that the SVSP Litigation Coordinator determine if defendant R. Mack was a former employee at SVSP, and if so, whether he is still employed with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR"), and to provide the court with a current employment address for the defendant. If he is a former employee but no longer employed with CDCR, the Litigation Coordinator is requested to provide a forwarding address, or notice that such information is not available.

CONCLUSION

1. The clerk of the court shall forward a copy of this order to the Litigation Coordinator at Salinas Valley State Prison. The clerk shall also mail a courtesy copy of this order to the Attorney General's Office at 455 Golden Gate Avenue, Suite 11000, San Francisco, CA 94102-7004.

2. In the interest of the justice, the Litigation Coordinator at Salinas Valley State Prison is requested to provide to the court the current employment status for defendant R. Mack, and any available forwarding addresses, or notice that such information is not available, within thirty (30) days from the date this order is filed.

IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: 8/20/14
