ST. LOUIS CITY JAILS, et al.,
Defendants,

No. 4:14CV2107 RLW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on its own motion. On December 14, 2015, summons
was returned as executed on defendant Carlton Prince. The summons was sent to his former
employer, A'viands, LLC. An office coordinator there apparently accepted the summons from
the U.S . Marshal ' s Office. A'viands, however, has notified the Court that it does not have a
legal relationship with Prince and cannot, therefore, accept service on his behalf. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 4(e). As a result, the summons was not properly executed.
A'viands has provided the Court with Prince' s last known residential address. The Court
will instruct the Clerk to attempt service on Prince at that address.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to serve process on defendant

Carlton Prince at his last known residential address. The summons must be filed under seal.
Dated

this~y of February, 2016.
