UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAN ANDREW COX,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALISHA STOTTSBERRY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-04662-KAW (PR)

ORDER DIRECTING UNITED STATES 

MARSHAL TO EFFECT SERVICE ON 

DEFENDANTS

On May 7, 2015, the Court ordered service of Defendants Alisha Stottsberry and Jim 

Miller by sending them request for waiver of service of summons forms at their place of 

employment, the Lake County Jail. Dkt. No. 15. 

On May 26, 2015, Captain G. Hosman, Lake County Sheriff’s Office, informed the Court 

that Defendants Stottsberry and Miller could not be served at the Lake County Jail because they 

“do not work for the County of Lake they work for a private vendor that the county contracts with 

called California Forensic Medical Group (“CFMG”)” at 2511 Garden Road Suite A 160, 

Monterey, California. Dkt. 98 at 1. Captain Hosman returned to the Court all of the documents 

that the Clerk of the Court had mailed to Defendants without explaining why the Court’s mail 

could not be delivered directly to the Defendants who appear to currently work at the Lake County 

Jail. Rather than re-send the request for waiver of service of summons to Defendants at their 

employer’s address in Monterey, the Court will order the United States Marshal to personally 

serve them.

Pursuant to Rule 4(e)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, when a waiver has not 

been obtained, service may be effected by way of personal service. Plaintiff is proceeding in 

forma pauperis; therefore, he is entitled to such service by the United States Marshal. Fed. Rule
