February 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 14 SERVICE ORDER ENTERED: The Clerk of the Court shall notify the Kansas Attorney General ("AG") and the KDOC of this Service Order. The Court requests that Defendant Jeff Zmuda waive formal service of process. The AG and/or the KDOC shall have thirty (30) days from entry of this Service Order to file a Waiver of Service Executed and/or a Waiver of Service Unexecuted. Upon the electronic filing of the Waiver of Service Executed, Defendant Zmuda shall have sixty (60) days to prepare a report pursuant to Martinez v. Aaron, 570 F.2d 317 (10th Cir. 1978). Upon the filing of that report, the Court will screen Plaintiff's Complaint and will enter an order setting an answer deadline if the Complaint survives screening. Any answer deadline set forth in the docket entry for the waiver of service is not controlling. In those cases where a Waiver of Service Unexecuted is filed, the KDOC shall have ten (10) days from the filing of the Waiver of Service Unexecuted, to supply the Clerk of Court with the last known forwarding addresses for former employees, said addresses to be placed under seal and used only for the purpose of attempting to effect service of process.

Upon the filing of that Report, the Court will screen Plaintiff's Complaint. If the Complaint survives screening, the Court will enter a separate order setting an answer deadline.
