Order of possession; delivery; service
Sec. 9. (a) If a defendant or the defendant's attorney is in open
court when the court issues the order of possession, a copy of the
order shall be delivered to the defendant and the delivery noted in the
order book.
(b) If the defendant and the defendant's attorney are not present,
sufficient copies of the order shall be delivered to the sheriff or other
executing officer. The executing officer shall, without delay, serve
upon the defendant a copy of the order of possession by delivering
the order to the defendant personally or to the defendant's agent. If
the executing officer cannot find the defendant or the defendant's
agent, the executing officer shall leave the order at the defendant's
usual place of abode or with some person of suitable age and
discretion. If the defendant and the defendant's agent do not have any
known usual place of abode, the executing officer shall mail the
order to the defendant's last known address.
