Judge Trauger/Bryant

ORDER By order entered on December 1, 2009, the District Judge directed the Clerk to mail to the plaintiff a service packet for defendant Covenant Transport (Docket Entry No. 14). On December 7, 2009, the Court received from the

plaintiff the incomplete summons and USM-285 Marshal's service form. In an accompanying filing, plaintiff stated that she did not feel comfortable handwriting information on a summons to be served by the Court, and that she felt that "everything you send should be typewritten." (Docket Entry No. 16). Plaintiff also included in

this filing a copy of the EEOC charge of discrimination form (Docket Entry No. 16 at 5) which bears a mailing address for Covenant Transport in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Although plaintiff's filing does not expressly so state, it appears that the plaintiff here intends that the Court shall type her service forms for her, using the address that she has supplied from the EEOC charge of discrimination. The Clerk is directed to mail to plaintiff a second
