Streblow v. Club 180, 8:25-cv-00241

Plaintiffs are current/former employees, neighbors, and interested parties associated with Club 180, a strip club alleged to be operating illegally in Omaha, Nebraska.
Defendant AM314, LLC is the corporate owner/operator of Club 180; Matthew Longcor is a co-owner.
Plaintiffs attempted to serve AM314, LLC and Longcor via email, personal residence, and registered agent (who was deceased), but were unsuccessful.
Plaintiffs seek court authorization for alternative service by hand delivery and mail to Club 180’s business address after repeated failed attempts.
Plaintiffs also request that Defendants pay service costs due to their alleged evasion of service, based on Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d).
