Plaintiff may file a reply within 10 days of Defendants' response.

Plaintiff must complete and return the service packet to the Clerk of Court within 21 days of the date of filing of this Order.

If Plaintiff does not either obtain a waiver of service of the summons or complete service of the Summons and Complaint on a Defendant within 90 days of the filing of the Complaint or within 60 days of the filing of this Order, whichever is later, the action may be dismissed as to each Defendant not served. Except with respect to (1) Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order and (2) the issue regarding the fees and in forma pauperis status, this matter is referred to Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf pursuant to Rules 72.1 and 72.2 of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure for all pretrial proceedings as authorized under 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1).
