BRIAN K. WHITE, Plaintiff, v. DISTROKID; EUNICE LLOYD also known as Eunice Rivers, Defendants.
ORDER OF SERVICE
GABRIEL W. GORENSTEIN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff Brian White, appearing pro se, brings this action under the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., alleging that Defendants violated his rights. White has been granted permission to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), and thus is entitled to rely on the Court and the U.S. Marshals Service to effect service. Walker v. Schult, 717 F.3d. 119, 123 n.6 (2d Cir. 2013); see also 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) (the court must order the Marshals Service to serve if the plaintiff is authorized to proceed IFP).
This Court previously issued an order of service on March 25, 2022 (Docket # 5). U.S. Marshals were unable to serve defendant Distrokid as White had provided an address that was not current. See Marshal's Process Receipt and Return of Service Unexecuted, filed June 10, 2022 (Docket # 10). White has provided the Court with an updated address for Distrokid: 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 36th Floor, New York, New York 10036. To allow White to effect service on Distrokid, the Clerk of Court is instructed to fill out a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form for Distrokid with this updated address. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to issue revised summonses and deliver to the Marshals Service all the paperwork necessary for the Marshals Service to effect service upon Distrokid.
SO ORDERED.
