MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Magistrate Judge Michael J. Watanabe
On May 21, 2015, the Court received and docketed a letter from Plaintiff asking
that the Clerk of Court effectuate service of process on David Allred, Lisa McDermott,
Brad Cink, Theresa Nehls, and Brandy Hawkins. (Docket No. 53.) Viewing this
document as a motion for service through the U.S. Marshal Service, the Court DENIES
the motion for the following reasons.
•

The first four of these individuals are already Defendants who have
waived service and entered appearances in this case. (Docket Nos. 22,
29, 43.) Thus, there is no need to serve them again.

•

The fifth individual, Brandy Hawkins, appears to be a stranger to this
lawsuit, at least for the time being. In order to add Ms. Hawkins as a
Defendant, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint listing her as a
Defendant—then, after Ms. Hawkins is added to the case, the Clerk of
Court can work with the Marshal’s Service to effect service.
