Plaintiff,

 v.

STEVE SANG RO,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-02860 WHA

ORDER DENYING

AUTHORIZATION FOR 

PROCESS SERVER TO LEVY

EXECUTION

Plaintiff J&J Sports Productions, Inc. has obtained default judgment in the amount of

$4,350 against defendant Steve Sang Ro. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 69, a

money judgment is enforced by a writ of execution. The procedure on execution must accord

federal district courts are ordinarily served by United States marshals.

Plaintiff moves pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 699.080 for an order

authorizing a process server instead of United States marshals perform service. Plaintiff claims

However, there is nothing distinguishing the present matter that would justify departing from the
