What happened
In Grazette v. City of New York, the City provided a service address for retired defendant Ysmael Ricardo of the New York City Police Department.
Because David I. Grazette had been allowed to proceed without paying court fees, he could rely on the court and the U.S. Marshals Service to serve Ricardo.
Judge Sarah L. Cave ordered the Clerk to prepare the service paperwork, issue a summons, send the necessary documents to the Marshals Service, and mail the order to Grazette.

Background
The City of New York provided the service address for retired defendant Ysmael Ricardo of the New York City Police Department. The court had previously allowed David I. Grazette to proceed without prepaying court fees. That status permits him to rely on the court and the U.S. Marshals Service to complete service of process.
Order
The court directed the Clerk of Court to complete a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form for Ricardo. It also directed the Clerk to issue a summons and provide the Marshals Service with the paperwork needed to serve Ricardo. The Clerk was further directed to mail a copy of the order to Grazette.
Disposition
This was an order concerning service of process. It did not decide the merits of Grazette's claims. The order was entered by United States Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave.
