RITA STARR, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Plaintiff Lester Eugene Rider, an inmate confined in the Phoenix Recover Center,
is proceeding pro se in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. A summons directed to Defendant
Michelle Corbin has twice been returned to the Court unexecuted, once in care of the
Arkansas Department of Correction and the other at her last-known personal mailing
address.
It is Mr. Rider’s responsibility to provide the Court and the U.S. Marshal Service
with proper service addresses for Defendants. Lee v. Armontrout, 991 F.2d 487, 489 (8th
Cir. 1993). Thus, the Court will give Mr. Rider until October 28, 2014, to use the
discovery process set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 33 by serving Interrogatories on the
Defendants or otherwise ascertaining a valid service address for Michelle Corbin, and to
file a “Motion for Service,” requesting that service be attempted upon her at that valid
address.
Mr. Rider is advised that the failure to timely comply with this order will result in
Defendant Corbin’s dismissal from the lawsuit, without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P.

4(m). Mr. Rider is also reminded 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).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 28th day of July, 2014.
