ORDER On May 24, 2024, plaintiff filed this case and filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. On June 27, 2024, the court granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Because defendants had not yet been served, the court, on January 2, 2025, directed plaintiff to serve all defendants and file proofs of service by February 15, 2025. See [Doc. #7]. However, in light of the earlier in forma pauperis determination, the court is required to serve process for plaintiff and its earlier order should have so indicated. See

(d) (“The officers of the court shall issue and serve all process, and perform all duties in [in forma pauperis] cases”); Fed. R. Civ.

(10th Cir. 2003).

Failure to comply with the court’s order may result in a dismissal of this action without prejudice, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); (3) The Clerk of Court is directed to forward the documents upon receipt to the United States Marshals Service for service; and (4) The U.S. Marshal is directed to effect service of process promptly in accordance with its standard protocols.
