TOWAKI KOMATSU, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
ROANNE L. MANN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE:
Plaintiff Towaki Komatsu (“plaintiff”), proceeding in forma pauperis, brings claims against various governmental and non-governmental defendants, including Manwai Lui, Walter Johnson, Ralph Morales and Scott Kamien (the “CSOs”), and their purported employer, Intercon Security Systems, Inc. (“Inter-con”). See Complaint (Feb. 26, 2021) at p. 3 ¶¶ 4, 7, 10, 16, 26, DE #2. The United States Marshals Service's attempts to effect service on the CSOs through Inter-con were ineffective because Inter-con “does not currently employ the abovenamed individuals.” See Marshal's Process Receipts and Returns of Service Executed (Oct. 28, 2021), DE #71, DE #72, DE #73, DE #74; Response (Nov. 12, 2021) at 1 n.2, DE #82. Accordingly, by Order dated December 7, 2021, this Court directed Inter-con to provide to the Court, filed under seal, last known addresses for the CSOs so that service can be properly effected on them. See Order (Dec. 7, 2021), DE #92. Inter-con has now done so. See Letter addressed to Judge Roanne L. Mann from Jessica R. Schild dated December 14, 2021 re: last known addresses for the CSOs (Dec. 14, 2021), DE #101 (filed ex parte).
The Clerk of Court is instructed to re-issue summonses for defendants Manwai Lui, Walter Johnson, Ralph Morales and Scott Kamien, complete the USM-285 forms with the addresses listed in Inter-con's letter (DE #101), and deliver all documents necessary to effect service to the United States Marshals Service for the Eastern District of New York (the “USMS-EDNY”). The USMS-EDNY is requested to effect service at those addresses listed in Inter-con's letter (DE #101).
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff.
SO ORDERED.
