CHARLES ADAM JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

COLLECTAL ASSOCIATES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02223-SI 

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

SERVE REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION ON 

DEFENDANTS IN MANNER 

CONSISTENT WITH FRCP 5(B)

Re: Dkt. No. 28

On January 29, 2016, Magistrate Judge Spero issued a Report and Recommendation (the 

“Report”) in this case. Dkt. 31. The Report recommends granting in part and denying in part 

plaintiff’s motion for default judgment, and recommends awarding plaintiff a total judgment of 

$20,895, consisting of damages of $10,700, attorneys' fees of $9,660, and costs of $535. Judge 

Spero also recommended that this Court require plaintiff to serve a copy of the Report on 

defendants in a manner consistent with Rule 5(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 

5(b) states that service may be made by leaving pleadings and other papers "at the person's office 

with a clerk or other person in charge or, if no one is in charge, in a conspicuous place in the 

office" or "if the person has no office or the office is closed, at the person's dwelling or usual place 

of abode with someone of suitable age and discretion who resides there." The proof of service 

filed by plaintiff states that plaintiff served the Report on defendants by mail. Dkt. 34.

In accordance with Judge Spero's recommendation, the Court directs plaintiff to serve a 

copy of the Report, along with a copy of this order, on defendants in a manner consistent with 

Rule 5(b). The Court will not rule on the Report until after seven days have passed from the date
