For a Coldstream defendant in a common pleas case, Civ.R. 4.1 has the clerk hand the papers to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, and a municipal court gives them to its bailiff. A court can also designate a person by order for up to one year once the applicant swears to the 4.1(D) requirements, which include no offense of violence in the last ten years. A server who has not reached the defendant within 28 days writes down why and returns the process.
