MEMORANDUM DECISION & ORDER

v.
DETECTIVE CHRISTIE BROWN et al.,
Defendants.

Case No. 2:13-CV-750 CW
District Judge Clark Waddoups

The Court has directed the United States Marshals Service to serve process in this case.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(2). To do so, by statute, the United States Marshal "shall command all
necessary assistance to execute its duties." See 28 U.S.C.S. § 556(c) (2015).
The Complaint identifies the following Unified Police Department (UPD) employee as a
defendant: Detective Christie Brown.
Service of process on current government employees may be effected via authorized
agent. If the named defendant is no longer employed by UPD or UPD is not authorized to accept
service for this individual, more information must be obtained from UPD to complete service.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: If UPD is unable to accept service of
process for the defendant identified above, UPD shall disclose to the United States Marshals
Service any information in its records that may help in identifying, locating and completing
service of process upon the named defendant. Such information shall include, but is not limited
to, the defendant’s full name and any known aliases, dates of birth, Social Security numbers,
driver's license numbers, all previous addresses, and last known addresses on file. The U.S.

Marshal shall take all necessary measures to safeguard any personal information provided by
UPD to ensure that it is not disclosed to anyone other than the U.S. Marshals Service or Court
officers.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 14th day of October, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
