Opinion
Case No. 3:08-cv-287-J-25MCR.
December 2, 2008
ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Order U.S. Marshals to Complete Service of Process (Doc. 32). Plaintiff asks the Court to order the Marshal to serve a summons and complaint upon the U.S. Attorney or Attorney General and to complete the service of process on Defendant, Tom Slovenkay.
First, as for Plaintiff's request that the Marshal serve a summons and complaint on the U.S. Attorney or Attorney General, neither are named as Defendants in the case and therefore, the Court will not direct the Marshal to serve either. Next, as for Defendant, Tom Slovenkay, Plaintiff's first attempt at service was unsuccessful as Mr. Slovenkay has retired from the Drug Enforcement Agency (the "DEA"). Accordingly, within THIRTY (30) DAYS from the date of this Order, the DEA shall notify the Court whether there is a forwarding address for Tom Slovenkay. If the forwarding address is confidential, the address shall be provided to the Court in camera in order for service of process to be completed by the United States Marshall.
The Clerk of the Court shall mail of copy of this Order to Drug Enforcement Administration, Mailstop: AES, 8701 Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA 22152.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Jacksonville, Florida.
