IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v.

PLAINTIFF

No.4:11-cv-370-DPM

TERRY LYNNE LYONS; JUDY ANN
LYONS, his spouse; ARKANSAS
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE &
ADMINISTRATION, Commissioner
of Revenues; FIRST SECURITY BANK;
and ARKANSAS CHILD SUPPORT
ENFORCEMENT OFFICE

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
The Court appreciates the proposed Judgment, to which all the
answering parties have agreed. Service was good on Judy Lyons. Document
No. 5-1. But she, rather than her husband, Terry Lynne Lyons, appears to
have received the suit papers meant for him. Document No. 5-1. The Court is
also unable to conclude, without more by way of explanation, that service was
good on the Office of Child Support Enforcement when the complaint and
summons were received by a person other than the Administrator.

The United States must therefore by 20 June 2012 explain in terms of
Rule of Civil Procedure 4 why good service exists on Mr. Lyons and the
OCSE, supplementing the record if need be.
So Ordered.
