In Ganzaroli-Delgado v. County of Westchester, Judge Roman ordered marshals to serve defendants and required plaintiff to provide a service address or consent to electronic service.
The order affects MADELINEA J. GANZAROLI-DELGADO, who must provide a service address or consent to electronic service, and the defendants, who are to be served by the U.S. Marshals Service.
What happened
MADELINEA J. GANZAROLI-DELGADO brought a lawsuit without a lawyer against County of Westchester and other defendants, asserting employment-related claims under federal and New York laws. The court had already allowed her to proceed without paying the filing fee.
Because she was proceeding without paying the fee, the court directed the Clerk of Court and the U.S. Marshals Service to issue summonses and serve the listed defendants. The court extended the service deadline to 90 days after summonses are issued and said she should request more time if service is not completed by then.
The order also required MADELINEA J. GANZAROLI-DELGADO, within 30 days, to provide an address where court papers can be mailed or consent to electronic service. Judge Nelson S. Roman did not decide the merits of her claims.

Background
MADELINEA J. GANZAROLI-DELGADO filed this lawsuit without a lawyer. She asserts claims arising from her employment with the Westchester County Department of Correction under the Family and Medical Leave Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the New York State Human Rights Law, and other state laws. In an earlier order, the court granted her permission to proceed without paying the filing fee.
Service of the defendants
Because the plaintiff was allowed to proceed without paying the filing fee, the court directed the Clerk of Court to issue summonses and prepare a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form for each defendant. The court also directed the Clerk to give the Marshals Service the documents needed to serve County of Westchester, Joseph Spano, Michael Gerald, Hector Lopez, Adriane Brown, Diance Cocozzo, Joanne Antoine, Wellpath, LLC, and Janixza Ramirez.
The court extended the time for service. The plaintiff must have the complaint served within 90 days after the summonses are issued. If service is not completed within that period, the plaintiff should request an extension of time.
Address for court service
The plaintiff listed an address on her filing seeking permission to proceed without paying the filing fee but asked that the address remain confidential. The court stated that a party must provide an address for service. Within 30 days after the date of the order, the plaintiff must either provide a substitute address where papers can be mailed or consent to electronic service. The Clerk was directed to mail the plaintiff an information package and the order without placing the mailing address on the public docket.
Disposition
The order concerns service of process and the plaintiff’s address for receiving court papers. It does not decide whether her employment or other legal claims are valid. Judge Nelson S. Roman ordered the Clerk to issue the summonses and arranged for service through the U.S. Marshals Service.
