No. 4:23-CV-00878 JSD

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon notification from counsel from the Missouri
Department of Mental Health (DMH), dated December 27, 2024. In the waiver of service letter for
defendant Misty Kindle, counsel has provided the last known residential address for defendant
Denise Hacker, who appears to be a former employee of DMH. ECF No. 38. Because plaintiff
Kelly McSean is proceeding in forma pauperis, the Court will direct the Clerk of Court to
effectuate service of process through the United States Marshal’s Office, using the address
provided in ECF No. 38 for Denise Hacker. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3). A copy of the summons
and return of summons shall be filed under seal and ex parte.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall effectuate service of process via
the United States Marshal’s Office upon defendant Denise Hacker at the address provided in ECF
No. 38.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of the summons and the return of summons
shall be filed under seal and ex parte.
Dated this 2nd day of January, 2025.
