ORDER
G. R. SMITH, Magistrate Judge.
On August 14, 2015, the Court granted plaintiff motion (doc. 7) for service on defendant Jamie Shiver by publication. Doc. 8. That Order, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(f)(1)(C), directed the Clerk to publish notice of this action and mail a copy of the complaint and order to Shiver's last known address. Id. But plaintiff must first fulfill its § 9-11-4 obligations.
That provision requires the Clerk to "cause the publication to be made in the paper in which sheriffs advertisements are printed, four times within the ensuing 60 days, publications to be at least seven days apart." O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(f)(1)(C). Plaintiff, however, should have, "at the time of filing" its motion for service by publication, "deposit[ed] the cost of publication" with the Clerk and informed the Court of Shiver's last known address. Id. Yet, it did not.
Plaintiff therefore must, within seven days of the date this Order is served, (1) file a proposed notice for publication that conforms to § 9-11-4(f)(1)(C)'s requirements;1 (2) deposit the cost of publication with the Clerk;2 and (3) inform the Court of Shiver's last known address. Once those three things happen, the Clerk shall publish the notice in the Savannah Morning News "four times within the ensuing 60 days, publications to be at least seven days apart." Id. Further, the Clerk shall, within fifteen days of this Order's filing and after publishing notice pursuant to § 9-11-4(1)(1)(C), mail a copy of the published notice, the complaint (doe. 1), the Order allowing service by publication (doe. 8), and this Order to Shiver's last known address, which plaintiff will provide within seven days of the date this Order is served.
SO ORDERED.
