REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

TU M. PHAM, Magistrate Judge.

Before the court is defendant Southwest Tennessee Community College's ("Southwest") Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 10) pro se plaintiff Keyuna Cameron's ("Cameron") complaint (ECF No. 1) for insufficient service of process. Southwest asserts that while it was served with the summons and the complaint, service of process was insufficient because the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure mandate that service shall be made upon the state of Tennessee or any agency thereof by delivering a copy of the summons and the complaint to the attorney general. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(j); Tenn. R. Civ. P. 4.04(6). Cameron has not disputed Southwest's assertion of insufficient service of process.1

The undersigned magistrate judge previously granted Cameron leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and directed that process for Southwest be issued by the Clerk and served by the Marshal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(c)(3), and Local Rule 4.1(b)(3)(B). (ECF No. 7.) On November 3, 2017, the undersigned entered an order directing the Clerk to reissue, and the Marshal to serve, process upon Southwest. (ECF No. 12.) For the same reasons set forth in the November 3 order, it is recommended that Southwest's motion to dismiss be denied without prejudice with leave to refile should there be a basis to renew the motion.
