ORDER DIRECTING UNITED

STATES MARSHAL TO PERSONALLY

SERVE DEFENDANT DAVE FIFE

PURSUANT TO FRCP 4(e)(2)

This Order concerns the matter of service upon Defendant Dave

Fife, identified by Plaintiff as a nurse practitioner who worked at

the North County Jail in Oakland. In its Order filed March 16,

2005 the Court found that Plaintiff's second amended complaint

stated a cognizable claim for deliberate indifference to his

serious medical needs against Defendant Fife and other Defendants,

and ordered the Clerk of the Court to send the complaint and a

request for waiver of service to the named Defendants. With the

exception of Defendant Fife, all Defendants waived service and have

appeared in this matter. In an Order dated June 12, 2006, the

Court directed the United States Marshal to personally serve

Defendant Fife. The summons was returned unexecuted because

Defendant Fife was "not found or no longer at address given." 

Because Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis, he is

entitled to personal service by the United States Marshal of

Defendants. Fed. Rule Civ. P. 4(c)(2). 

Good cause appearing therefor, the United States Marshal is

hereby ORDERED to attempt to effect personal service upon Defendant

Dave Fife at his last known address, which shall be given to the

Marshal and filed under seal. The United States Marshal shall

usual place of abode with some person of suitable age and

discretion then residing therein," or serve an agent of Defendant

Fife "authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of

process." Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(e)(2).

The Clerk shall provide the United States Marshal with the

necessary summons and copies of the second amended complaint

(docket no. 198), and the Court's Order of Service dated March 16,

2005 (docket no. 286). The United States Marshal shall attempt

personal service at that address within thirty (30) days. The

Clerk shall include on the summons form, USM 285, the following

special instructions:

Pursuant to Rule 4(e)(2), the United States Marshal shall

serve Dave Fife "personally" or at his "dwelling house or usual

place of abode with some person of suitable age and discretion then

residing therein," or serve an agent of Dave Fife "authorized by

appointment or by law to receive service of process." Fed. R. Civ.

P. 4(e)(2). The address for such service shall be provided in an

addendum, which shall be filed under seal. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
