ORDER

CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. By order filed January 19, 2016, the court determined that service of the second amended complaint is appropriate for defendants California Medical Facility ("CMF") Correctional Officer Landon Bravo and volunteer Joyce Banzhaf and ordered plaintiff to provide information necessary to effectuate service on these defendants. Defendant Bravo has since been served and has now appeared in this action. See ECF No. 28. As for defendant Banzhaf, she is identified as a volunteer Lead Coordinator with the "Alternatives to Violence" program ("AVP"), an independent non-profit organization providing workshops to inmates at CMF. See Sec. Am. Compl. ¶ 7.

At issue here is plaintiff's inability to locate a service address for defendant Banzhaf. Plaintiff previously requested the court's assistance in finding an address, but this request was denied because she failed to identify any steps taken to find it herself. (ECF No. 21.) Plaintiff was thus again directed to file necessary service documents for defendant Banzhaf.

Now pending is plaintiff's second request for the court's assistance. ECF No. 23. In this motion, plaintiff states that she attempted to locate a service address by (1) looking into phone books for a home address but learned that these books at the institution are not up to date; (2) asking volunteer staff members to perform an internet search but they refused to help when they learned that plaintiff was seeking a home address for another volunteer staff member; and (c) attempting to contact volunteer staff members during a recent AVP workshop at CMF but her "efforts proved with negative results." Following these efforts, plaintiff was warned that any further attempts to locate and/or to obtain the assistance of volunteer staff members to locate an address for defendant Banzhaf would subject plaintiff to disciplinary action. Plaintiff has also been unable to locate a local address for the AVP.

As plaintiff was previously informed, it is her responsibility to provide an address to effectuate service on defendant. See Walker v. Sumner, 14 F.3d 1415, 1422 (9th Cir. 1994), abrogated on other grounds by Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472 (1995). Nonetheless, in an abundance of caution, the court will seek the assistance of the Supervising Deputy Attorney General, Monica Anderson. The court requests that Ms. Anderson take all steps necessary to enlist the assistance from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("CDCR") to obtain a service address for defendant Banzhaf so that the court can direct the United States Marshal ("USM") to serve process without further delay. Pursuant to this court's prior order, the USM "shall maintain the confidentiality of all information so provided pursuant to this order." ECF No. 21. Therefore, Ms. Anderson may provide the USM with the address of the AVP, and notify the court that the address was provided. Once the court receives confirmation that the address was provided, the court will direct the USM to execute service of process. The court requests that the information be provided within thirty days from the date of this order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
