ORDER ON MOTION TO EXTENDING TIME TO SERVE THE
SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, FOR A REISSUED SUMMONS FOR
DEFENDANT DAVID GROSSMAN, AND FOR ALTERNATE SERVICE
This matter is before the court on the Plaintiff’s Motion for an Order (1)
extending the time to serve the Summons and Complaint upon defendant David
Grossman, (2) for reissuance of a Summons as to David Grossman, and (3)
Allowing Alternate Service of the Summons and Complaint upon David
Grossman.
The Court has reviewed the Motion, Brief in Support, and the exhibits
supplied with the Motion. The Court is satisfied that the Motion should be granted.

The Court finds that service upon defendant David Grossman cannot reasonably be
made as provided in F.R.Civ.P. 4 or MCR 2.105. Service of process, however, may
be made in a manner that is reasonably calculated to give the defendant actual
notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard. Now therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the clerk shall re-issue a Summons for
defendant David Grossman.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the time for serving the Summons and
Complaint upon David Grossman is extended 120 days from the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Service of the Summons and Complaint,
or any timely-filed Amended Pleading allowed by the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, and a copy of this order shall be made by each of the following
methods:
1. Sending a copy of the Summons and Complaint by First-class US mail to
David Grossman at 17040 Plymouth Road, Detroit, MI 48227; and
2. Sending a copy of the Summons and Complaint by Certified US mail to
David Grossman, at 17040 Plymouth Road, Detroit, MI 48227; and
3. Tacking or firmly affixing a copy of the Summons and Complaint to the
door at 17040 Plymouth Road, Detroit, MI 48227; and
4. Publishing Notice of the Summons and Complaint once in a Print Media
Newspaper of common circulation, such as the Detroit Legal News.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that for each method listed above, proof of
service must be promptly filed with the court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that compliance with this Order will constitute
service of the Summons and Complaint upon David Grossman.
SO ORDERED.
