Service of process on current government employees may be effected via authorized
agent. If any of the named defendants are no longer employed by the State or the State is not

authorized to accept service for any of these individuals, more information must be obtained
from the State to complete service.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: If the State is unable to accept service of

Service any information in its records that may help in identifying, locating and completing
service of process upon the named defendants. Such information shall include, but is not limited
to, the defendants' full names 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 the
State to ensure that it is not disclosed to anyone other than the U.S. Marshals Service or Court
