v. ) JOINT STATUS STATEMENT ) AND STIPULATION JO ANNE B. BARNHART, )

Commissioner of Social Security, )

) Defendant. )

______________________________)

Pursuant to the Court’s Order dated June 23, 2005, the parties hereby respectfully submit

this Joint Status Statement and Stipulation.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the undersigned attorneys, subject to the

approval of the Court, that:

1. The Commissioner of Social Security was not properly served pursuant to Fed. R.

Civ. P. 4. The Process Receipt completed by the U.S. Marshals Service names Joann B.

Barnhart, but lists the address of the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington,

D.C. rather than the correct address for Commissioner Barnhart in Baltimore, Maryland. Further

complicating service, although the Court Clerk directed the Marshals Service to serve the United

States Attorney’s Office by Certified Mail addressed to the Civil Process Clerk in San Francisco,

it appears that service was made in San Jose instead.

AND ORDER THEREON
