IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GENE WOODHAM,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-0082 GGH P

vs.

RN DATOR, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Following this court’s Order, filed on March 15, 2010, directing reimbursement

by defendants to the U.S. Marshal’s Office for the cost of personal service upon defendants

Wholer; Stormes; Dator; Soltanian-Zadeh; Williams; and Cook, counsel for defendants filed a

declaration with exhibits demonstrating that, as to defendants Williams and Cook, they were not

personally served at the time that counsel communicated to the Marshal’s Office by email, on

February 4, 2010, that she was collecting the executed waivers to forward to the Marshal’s Office

and requesting no personal service of defendants. Declaration of Shanan Hewitt, Exhibit A, p. 2. 

The response by the Marshal’s Office, dated February 4, 2010, states that defendants had been

personally served the previous day. Hewitt Dec., Exhibit A, p. 1. However, the court has

previously noted that defendant Williams was personally served on February 8, 2010, and

defendant Cook was personally served on February 10, 2010. See Order, filed on March 15,

prior order as to defendants Cook and Williams only. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

be discharged of the obligation to reimburse the Marshal’s Office in the amount of $321.00 for

personal service, and these defendants are not required to make such reimbursements.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of this order on Valerie Duran, U.S.

Marshals Service.
