ORDER
Before the court is Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of a process server. (Doc. 8).
Previously, the court granted Plaintiff’s motions for writ of garnishment and the writs of
garnishment were issued by the Clerk. (Docs. 6 & 7). Plaintiff now requests that the Court
appoint ABC Legal to serve the writs on the garnishees.

Pursuant to Rule 4.1(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[p]rocess—other than
a summons under Rule 4 or a subpoena under Rule 45—must be served by a United States
marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.” Here,
Plaintiff requests the appointment of a special process server due to the limited resources and
time constraints of the U.S. Marshals Service.
Upon due consideration, Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 8) is GRANTED. See Sumner v.
Garner, No. 6:18-CV-40-ORL-28GJK, 2019 WL 6716193, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Dec. 9, 2019)
(granting the request to appoint a special process server to serve a writ of garnishment);
Francois v. Washmonbo, Inc., No. 05-23368-CIV, 2008 WL 2694752, at *2 (S.D. Fla. July 8,
2008) (appointing special process server to serve writ of garnishment). The court appoints
any agent or employee of ABC Legal, who is otherwise legally permitted to effectuate service
of process, as special process server to serve the writs of garnishment on the garnishees (Docs.
6 & 7).
DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on October 1, 2021.
