2. Within ten days from the date of this order, the United States Marshals Service is 

directed to notify the following defendants of the commencement of this action and to request a waiver 

of service in accordance with the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 566(c):

new USM-285 forms, if required. Costs of service will be taxed against the personally served 

defendant(s) in accordance with the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2).

6. If a defendant waives service, the defendant is required to return the signed waivers to 

the Marshals Service. The filing of an answer or a responsive motion does not relieve a defendant of 

this requirement, and the failure to return the signed waivers may subject a defendant to an order to 

pay the costs of service pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2).

7. In the event that a defendant either waives service or is personally served, the defendant 

is required to reply to the complaint. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(g)(2).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
