TONYIA WILSON MOORE, Plaintiff, v. TREATMENT CENTERS OF AMERICA GROUP, LLC d/b/a Treatment Center of Valdosta, and VALDOSTA ADDICTION ASSOCIATES, INC. d/b/a Treatment Center of Valdosta, Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff initially filed this Title VII action pro se against Treatment Center of Valdosta and Akisha Fedd. On February 9, 2012, Plaintiff was granted permission to proceed in forma pauperis. As part of the Court's review of the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915, Fedd was dismissed as a defendant. However, service was ordered on Treatment Center of Valdosta.
Plaintiff has now retained counsel and has amended her complaint to name Treatment Centers of America Group, LLC d/b/a Treatment Center of Valdosta and Valdosta Addiction Associates, Inc. d/b/a Treatment Center of Valdosta as the proper defendants.
As Plaintiff is proceeding IFP in this case, the Court directs the United States Marshal to serve process on Treatment Centers of America Group, LLC d/b/a Treatment Center of Valdosta and Valdosta Addiction Associates, Inc. d/b/a Treatment Center of Valdosta. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) ("The officers of the court shall issue and serve all process . . . in [IFP] cases.); Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c)(3) (requiring courts to order that service be effected by the United States Marshal or other specially appointed person if the plaintiff is authorized to proceed IFP under 28 U.S.C. § 1915).
