No. 2:18CV43 HEA

OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On March 1, 2019, summons for defendant Jack Wright was returned unexecuted for the
second time in this action. The first time, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office refused to waive
service with respect to defendant Wright, noting that he no longer worked for the Missouri
Department of Corrections. [Doc. #12]. The second time, the U.S. Marshal’s Office was unable to
attain service on defendant Wright at his last known address provided by the Missouri Attorney
General’s Office. [Doc. #19, #21 and #23]. Consequently, service cannot be effectuated on
defendant Wright until plaintiff provides the Court with an updated address for this defendant.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, no later than twenty-one days from the date of this
Memorandum and Order, plaintiff shall provide the Court with an address at which service can
be effectuated on defendant Jack Wright. Plaintiff’s failure to do so will result in a dismissal of this
action against defendant Wright, without prejudice.
Dated this 5th day of March, 2019
