Plaintiff Steven Hairl Wilhelm (“Plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this
civil rights action filed on December 31, 2009. On July 12, 2012, the Court issued an order finding
service of the First Amended Complaint appropriate as to Defendant Dr. A. Rotman. Plaintiff
submitted service documents on August 6, 2012, and this Court directed the United States Marshal
to serve Defendant Rotman by order dated August 15, 2012.
The United States Marshal has encountered considerable difficulty in serving Defendant
Rotman. Most recently, on July 31, 2013, the Court ordered the Marshal to serve Defendant Rotman
at an address provided by Plaintiff. The Marshal has not returned service, either executed or
unexecuted.
On August 13, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion asking the Court to decide whether it is
“feasible” to enforce the prior service orders. On August 20, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion to add an
alternate address for Defendant Rotman.
