FAIRCHILD, Senior Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in all respects except as to the quashing of service of process to the individual defendants McCadden, Higgins, Fry, Miller, Greenlief, and Goodrich. I agree that the trial court’s order to quash should be upheld. However, I would do so on the basis that service by mail was ineffective. The local district court “standing order on service” purporting to authorize service by certified or registered mail was inconsistent with F.R.Civ.P. Rule 4(d)(1) which requires personal service and was therefore invalid.
