MAG. JUDGE KAREN L. HAYES

ORDER
On September 5, 2013, the court ordered the U.S. Marshal to effect service on Defendant
Frank G. Kennedy. (Sept. 5, 2013, Order [doc. # 13]). On October 2, 2013, however, the
Marshal returned the summons un-executed because she was unable to locate the Defendant
either at the address provided by Plaintiff or via other available leads. See doc. # 14.
To the extent necessary, the court advises Plaintiff that it is not a detective agency, and
has no means of obtaining service on Defendant absent a valid address. Kiger v. Clairborne,
Civil Action No. 07-2086, 2009 WL 2222710 (W.D. La. July 24, 2009). Accordingly, within the
next 28 days from the date of this order, i.e., by November 4, 2013, Plaintiff shall provide the
court with a current, valid service address for Defendant. Plaintiff is cautioned that if he fails to
so comply, then his complaint may be dismissed. LR 41.3W; Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in chambers, at Monroe, Louisiana, this 7th day of October
2013.
