DENNIS JOBE PLAINTIFF v. MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, ET AL DEFENDANT
ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO PROVIDE VALID MAILING ADDRESS FOR DEFENDANT
DAVID A. SANDERS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The court takes up, sua sponte, the matter of locating defendant, Dr. Juan Santos, in this case to effect service of process. The United States Marshal Service has attempted service of process upon defendant, Dr. Juan Santos; however, process was returned unexecuted, as the defendant could not be found. The plaintiff, as the party initiating the suit, is ultimately responsible for providing sufficient information to locate each defendant.
It is, therefore, ORDERED, that, within 21 days from the date of this order, the plaintiff provide the court with a valid address for service of process upon this defendant. Failure to do so will result in the dismissal of this case under Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) for failure to prosecute.
SO ORDERED.
