IN CHAMBERS ORDER re: Order to Show Cause [8]

On June 4, 2013, the Court issued an order to show cause why the case should not be dismissed
for lack of prosecution. On June 13, 2013, Plaintiff filed documentation indicating that Defendant
Henry Quintero had been served pursuant to N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 308(2) (McKinney), and that Defendants
Jeff Heimann and Plenty O Stuff had waived service. (Dkt. 9-11).
Plaintiff avers that it has been unable to effectuate personal service on Defendant HQ Imports
pursuant to § 311(a)(1) because Henry Quintero, who is an agent for service of process for the
corporation, is no longer located at the address supplied to the New York Secretary of State. Given that
serving HQ Imports under § 311(a) appears to be impracticable, the Court may direct Plaintiff to
accomplish service in another manner. N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 311(b). Accordingly, the Court directs Plaintiff
to serve HQ Imports in the same manner that it served Henry Quintero. Because Quintero is the agent
designated to accept service on behalf of HQ Imports, this procedure will be effective to complete
service on HQ Imports.
Plaintiff shall serve HQ Imports in the manner described above no later than fourteen days from
the date of this Order. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of HQ Imports from the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
