MEMORANDUM AND ORDER - Plaintiff's claims against defendant Bridgeport Public Schools for (a) retaliation under Title VII and (b) violation of Plaintiff's right to procedural due process with regard to (i) his liberty interest in his good n ame and reputation and (ii) his property interest in continued employment may proceed to service of process. Because defendant Bridgeport Public Schools is a state-created governmental organization under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(j), proper service may be ac complished either by (a) delivering a copy of the summons and of the amended complaint to its chief executive officer; or (b) serving a copy of each in the manner prescribed by Nebraska law for serving a summons or like process on such a defendant. U nder Neb. Rev. Stat. § 13-903, school districts are political subdivisions of the state, and service on such entities may be accomplished by personal, residence, certified mail, or designated delivery service upon the chief executive officer, cl erk, secretary, or other official whose duty it is to maintain the official records, or any member of the governing board or body, or by certified mail or designated delivery service to the principal office of the political subdivision. Neb. Rev. Sta t. § 25-510.02. To obtain service of process on Defendant, Plaintiff must complete and return the summons forms which the Clerk of the court will provide. The Clerk of the court shall send one summons form and one USM-285 form to Plaintiff toget her with a copy of this Memorandum and Order. Plaintiff shall, as soon as possible, complete the forms and send the completed forms back to the Clerk of the court. In the absence of the forms, service of process cannot occur. Upon receipt of the com pleted forms, the Clerk of the court will sign the summons form, to be forwarded with a copy of the Amended Complaint (Filing 7 ) to the U.S. Marshal for service of process. The Marshal shall serve the summons and Amended Complaint without payment o f costs or fees. The Clerk of the court will copy the Amended Complaint, and Plaintiff does not need to do so. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) requires service of a 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 120 days from the date of this order to complete service of process. Plaintiff is hereby notified that failure to obtain service of process on Defendant within 120 days of the date of this or der may result in dismissal of this matter without further notice as to such defendant. Defendant has 21 days after receipt of the summons to answer or otherwise respond to a complaint. The Clerk of the court is directed to set a case management dead line in this case with the following text: January 26, 2017: Check for completion of service of summons. The parties are bound by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and by the Local Rules of this court. Plaintiff shall keep the court informed of hi s current address at all times while this case is pending. Failure to do so may result in dismissal. Pursuant to this Memorandum and Order directing service, and at the direction of the court, this case is removed from the pro se docket. The clerk's office shall randomly assign new judges to this case and request a reassignment order from Chief District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp. Ordered by Senior Judge Richard G. Kopf.
