The plaintiff's written request opens personal or residence service, the second left with a suitable person living at the home. Common pleas papers for a Liberty Township defendant go to the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office, municipal papers to the bailiff, and a court may designate an individual by order who satisfies 4.1(D), for example someone not financially interested in the case. Each designation runs up to a year. After 28 days, unserved papers return with an explanation.
