THADDEUS L. JARVIS, PLAINTIFF v. COMMISSIONER PELICIA HALL, ET AL., DEFENDANTS
ORDER DISMISSING DEFENDANT LEATHER WILLIAMS FOR INABILITY TO LOCATE HER FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS
NEAL B. BIGGERS, SENIOR U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE.
On October 4, 2021, the court entered an order requiring the plaintiff, within 21 days, to provide a valid address for service of process as to defendant Leather Williams, who has left the employ of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (“MDOC”). The United States Marshal Service has attempted service of process using her last known address, as provided by MDOC, but could not locate her at that address. As the United States Marshal Service cannot serve Ms. Williams with process using the available address, the court cannot establish personal jurisdiction over her. As such, defendant Leather Williams is DISMISSED without prejudice for want of personal jurisdiction.
SO ORDERED.
