SOPHIA CORTEZ, Plaintiff, v. COUNTY OF MONTEREY, et al., Defendants.
ORDER RE SERVICE OF PROCESS ON DEFENDANT RICHARD STORMS
VIRGINIA K. DEMARCHI, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
On October 17, 2023, the Court granted Ms. Cortez's application to proceed in forma pauperis and directed the Clerk of Court to issue summons and the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of California (“USMS”) to effect service of process. Dkt. No. 8. Defendant Richard Storms could not be served, as he apparently is no longer employed by the Monterey County District Attorney's Office. The Court directed Ms. Cortez to provide a current address for service of process on Mr. Storms. See Dkt. Nos. 26, 29. On January 4, 2024, Ms. Cortez filed a statement providing a different address for Mr. Storms. See Dkt. No. 32.
Accordingly, the Clerk of Court shall re-issue summons, with the updated address information for Mr. Storms. Furthermore, the USMS shall serve, without prepayment of fees, a copy of the complaint, any amendments or attachments, Ms. Cortez's affidavit, and this order upon Mr. Storms.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
