CASE NO. 1:12 CV 1369

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

Pro se Plaintiff Antoine Winn filed this tort action against Rehab Investments, L.L.C. In
the Complaint, Plaintiff alleges he was injured at a rental property in Cleveland, Ohio owned by
the Defendant, and indicates that federal court jurisdiction is premised diversity of citizenship. He
seeks monetary damages in the amount of $250,000.00.
Plaintiff does not provide an address for the Defendant. The U.S. Marshal Form and
Summons which Plaintiff provided do not contain an address at which the Defendant may be
served. He simply indicates he believes the company is in Pennsylvania. He asks that the Court
subpoena the Defendant and ask the Defendant to provide an address. Unfortunately, to issue a
subpoena, the Court would need an address to which it could send the documents. The Clerk’s
Office cannot forward this matter to the U.S. Marshal for service.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is ordered to provide completed U.S. Marshal forms and summonses,

with an address for service for the Defendant and any other party requiring service of process of
the complaint pursuant to FED. R. CIV P. 4 within thirty (30) days of this Order. Plaintiff is further
ordered to send a “Notice of Compliance,” with an appropriate case caption for filing, with the
completed forms. The Clerk’s Office is directed to mail sufficient Marshal Forms and Summonses
to Plaintiff with a copy of this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
