MINUTE ORDER
_____________________________________________________________________
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Commence Service of
Process [Docket No. 18; Filed February 19, 2013] (the “Motion”). Plaintiff requests in the
Motion that Defendant Astrue be served with process while he is still Commissioner of the
Social Security Administration.
Upon review of the docket, it appears that Plaintiff has not provided service
addresses for at least four Defendants. The Amended Complaint contains addresses for
only two Defendants, one of which is incomplete. See [#7] at 2. Without service
addresses, the United States Marshals Service (USMS) is unable to serve Defendants with
process. Defendant Astrue happens to be the one Defendant for whom a complete
address is provided in the Amended Complaint. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#18] is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court
shall direct the USMS to initiate service of process upon Defendant Astrue by using the
address provided in the Amended Complaint [#7].
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall provide to the Clerk of the Court a
complete service address for each of the remaining five Defendants no later than April
30, 2013. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal of these
Defendants.
Dated: April 1, 2013
