ORDER DIRECTING THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT
OF CORRECTIONS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION
This order is entered under the authority given to this Magistrate
Judge in an Order of Reference issued by District Judge Zatkoff
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A).

The Court has previously determined that Plaintiff may proceed in forma pauperis
without the prepayment of fees, and directed the U.S. Marshal to serve process on the
named Defendants in this matter.
The Court has been advised that Defendant Mike Martin has retired and service was
not able to be accomplished at his work address. Therefore, the Michigan Department of
Corrections must furnish the U.S. Marshals Services with the last known address of
Defendant Martin. This information should be sent to: Ms. Kari Tyree, Administrative Officer,
U.S. Marshals Service, 231 W. Lafayette, Room 300, Detroit, MI, 48226-2782. The
information may be used only for purposes of effectuating service (or for proof of service,
should a dispute arise), and any documentation of the address will be retained only by the
U.S. Marshals Service. Address information will not be maintained in the Court file or
disclosed by the U.S. Marshals Service except as directed by court order.

The U.S. Marshals Service is authorized to mail a request for waiver of service to
Defendant Martin in the manner prescribed by FED. R. CIV. P. 4(d)(2) before attempting
personal service, and may collect the usual and customary costs from Plaintiff after
effectuating service.
Review of this order is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), FED. R. CIV. P. 72, and E.D.
Mich. LR 72.1(d).
