Opinion
Case No. 3:12cv00315
02-15-2013
MARQUISHA M. TORY, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Defendant.
District Judge Thomas M. Rose
Chief Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington
ORDER
Plaintiff brings this social security case pro se. The Court previously granted her application to proceed in forma pauperis and the Clerk of Court issued summons. Yet the Commissioner explains, summons has not been perfected. (Doc. #6, PageID at 16). The present record does not indicate or explain why this service did not occur. It appears, moreover, that Plaintiff was not at fault and that service was correctly issued to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, to the U.S. Attorney General in Washington, D.C., and to the Social Security Administration. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i); see also Doc. #3.
Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to again serve summons and a copy of the Complaint as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i).
