v.

ORDER DIRECTING SUBMISSION OF
SERVICE ADDRESS FOR UNSERVED
DEFENDANTS

Defendants.
This action is proceeding under Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint filed on August 1, 2011.

17
18

ECF No. 26. On August 12, 2011, the Court directed service of the amended complaint on all

19

additionally named defendants. ECF No. 32. The docket reflects that three Defendants, Eldon

20

Vail, Randy Pierce, and Gary Fletcher, have not yet been served with the amended complaint.

21
22
23

The Court has an alternative address for Defendant Eldon Vail and the Clerk will be
directed to make another attempt to complete service of the amended complaint on him.
However, the Court has no alternative addresses for Defendants Randy Pierce and Gary Fletcher.

24
Because service cannot be effective, personal jurisdiction over Randy Pierce and Gary Fletcher
25
26

does not exist and the Court has no authority over them at this time. However, if Plaintiff

ORDER - 1

1

provides the court with current addresses for these individuals, the Court will direct that service

2

be again attempted.

3
4

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Clerk shall send a copy of this Order to the
Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants. Plaintiff is directed to provide the Court with new

5
addresses for Randy Pierce and Gary Fletcher on or before November 25, 2011, or the Court
6
7

will recommend dismissal for failure to prosecute as to these individuals.
