MIKE ALLEN, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Plaintiff Cedric Glaze, a pre-trial detainee housed at the Crittenden County
Detention Facility, filed this case pro se under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docket entry #2)
Summonses were returned unexecuted as to Defendants Stone, Christy Childers, and the
City of West Memphis. (#25, #26, #27)
It is Mr. Glaze’s responsibility to provide the Court and the U.S. Marshal Service
with proper service addresses for Defendants Stone and Childers. Lee v. Armontrout, 991
F.2d 487, 489 (8th Cir. 1993). Thus, the Court will give Mr. Glaze one hundred and
twenty days to use the discovery process set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33
(by serving Interrogatories on the Defendants or otherwise) to find valid addresses for
these two Defendants and to file a “Motion for Service,” requesting that service be again
attempted upon them. Mr. Glaze is warned that the failure to timely comply with this
Order will result in the dismissal of claims against Defendants Stone and Childers,
without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).

Mr. Glaze is instructed not to file discovery requests or discovery responses with
the Court unless they are necessary to support a motion or response to a motion, or to
comply with a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(d).
The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare a summons for the City of West
Memphis. The United States Marshal is directed to serve copies of the Complaint, with
any attachments (#2, #8), and a summons for this Defendant without requiring
prepayment of fees and costs or security. Service for the City of West Memphis should
be through 205 South Redding Street, West Memphis, Arkansas 72301.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 14th day of October, 2015.
