(A) Court Authorization Required. A party who is not represented by an attorney and
who has moved or intends to move for leave to proceed in forma pauperis must not
serve process—and must not request a waiver of service under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 4(d)(1)—until the Court enters an order authorizing it. The Court may
direct the manner of serving process or requesting a waiver.
(B) Serving a Correctional Officer or Employee. The Court may direct the manner of
personal service on a correctional officer or other employee of a correctional facility
and may require the use of a process server designated for a specific correctional
facility.
