V. NO. 3:25-cv-155-DPM-ERE

DAKOTA CALDERON, et al.1 DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Purported Defendant Zach Norwood, through counsel,2 has moved to set aside service of process. Doc. 11. For cause, the motion explains that Zach Norwood is no longer employed by Craighead County, the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office, or the Craighead County Detention Center. In addition, the Craighead County employee who accepted service for purported Defendant Norwood was allegedly unaware he was no longer working there. Because the attempted service of process on Zach Norwood did not comply with legal requirements, it must be set aside. See FED. R. CIV. P. 4(e); Barber v. Shock, No. 4:08-cv-04115-HLJ,

2009 WL 856451
