3. For service of process on the individual Defendants named in paragraph (2), the Clerk of Court is directed to complete a summons form and a USM-285 form for such Defendants using the address “Norfolk Regional Center, 1700 N. Victory Rd., Norfolk, NE 68701” and forward them together with a copy of the Amended Complaint WITHOUT EXHIBITS (Filing 12), a copy of the court’s June 9, 2021, Memorandum and Order (Filing 13), and a copy of this Memorandum and Order to the Marshals Service.1 The Marshals Service shall serve the above-listed Defendants, personally in their individual capacities, at Norfolk Regional Center, 1700 N. Victory Rd., Norfolk, NE 68701. Service may also be accomplished by using any of the following methods: residence, certified mail, or designated delivery service. See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(e); Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-508.01.
4. Service of process on Defendants Security Specialist IIs on 3-East Unknown, Security Specialist IIs on 2-East Unknown, Security Specialist IIs on 3-West Pro se litigants proceeding in forma pauperis are entitled to rely on service by the United States Marshals Service. Wright v. First Student, Inc., 710 F.3d 782, 783 (8th Cir. 2013). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), in an in forma pauperis case, “[t]he officers of the court shall issue and serve all process, and perform all duties in such cases.” See Moore v. Jackson, 123 F.3d 1082, 1085 (8th Cir. 1997) (language in § 1915(d) is compulsory); Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3) (court must order that service be made by United States Marshal if plaintiff is authorized to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915). See, e.g., Beyer v. Pulaski County Jail, 589 Fed. Appx. 798 (8th Cir. 2014) (unpublished) (vacating district court order of dismissal for failure to prosecute and directing district court to order the Marshal to seek defendant’s last- known contact information where plaintiff contended that the jail would have information for defendant’s whereabouts); Graham v. Satkoski, 51 F.3d 710, 713 (7th Cir. 1995) (when court instructs Marshal to serve papers for prisoner, prisoner need furnish no more than information necessary to identify defendant; Marshal should be able to ascertain defendant’s current address).
Unknown, Security Team Members, and Compliance Team Members will be delayed until, and if, they are identified by name after reasonable discovery.
5. The United States Marshal shall serve all process in this case without prepayment of fees from Plaintiff.
6. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) requires service of the complaint on a defendant within 90 days of filing the complaint. However, Plaintiff is granted, on the court’s own motion, an extension of time until 90 days from the date of this order to complete service of process. The Clerk of Court shall set a case -management deadline accordingly.
7. Because this non-prisoner case is proceeding to service of process, and at the direction of the court, this case is removed from the pro se docket. The Clerk of Court shall randomly assign new judges to this case and shall request a reassignment order from the Chief Judge.
DATED this 13th day of July, 2021.

Richard G. Kong
Senior United States District Judge
