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(E.D. Ark. March 30, 2009)

(magistrate judge set aside service and process where purported defendant was no longer employed by the county and another employee accepted service). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT: 1. Purported Defendant Norwood’s motion to set aside service of process (Doc. 11) is GRANTED. 2. Service for Defendant Zach Norwood will be set aside. 3. Counsel for the County Defendants is instructed to provide a last- known address for Zach Norwood to the Court, under seal, within fourteen days. SO ORDERED 1 October 2025.
