COBY COOK PLAINTIFF v. ROSIE GOLLIDAY, et al. DEFENDANTS
ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO PROVIDE VALID MAILING ADDRESS FOR DEFENDANTS
ROY PERCY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
The court takes up, sua sponte, the matter of locating defendants Nurse Rosie Golliday and Warden Ora Starks in this case to effect service of process. The United States Marshal Service has attempted service of process upon defendants Nurse Rosie Golliday and Warden Ora Starks; however, process was returned unexecuted, as the defendants 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 defendants. 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.
