IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
SHANE ANDREW JOHNSON,
Plaintiff,

MEMORANDUM DECISION & ORDER

v.
TERRY JEFFRIES et al.,
Defendants.

Case No. 2:15-CV-438 CW
District Judge Clark Waddoups

The Court has directed the United States Marshals Service (USMS) to serve process in
this case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(2). To do so, by statute, the USMS "shall command all
necessary assistance to execute its duties." See 28 U.S.C.S. § 556(c) (2017).
The Complaint identifies the following defendants:
Terry Jeffries, USP
Dr. Richard Garden, USP
Daniel Ritter, USP
Christopher Roberts, Freemont Community Correctional Center
Steve Anderson, Utah County Jail
Service of process on current government employees may be effected via authorized
agent. If the defendant is no longer employed by the State or county or the State or county is not
authorized to accept service for this individual, more information must be obtained from the
State or county to complete service.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: If the State or county is unable to
accept service of process for the defendant identified above, the State or county shall disclose to
the USMS 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 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 USMS
shall take all necessary measures to safeguard any personal information provided by the State or
county to ensure that it is not disclosed to anyone other than the USMS or Court officers.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 24th day of March, 2017.
BY THE COURT:

JUDGE CLARK WADDOUPS
