DISCUSSION ©
A, Service on Named Defendants Because Plaintiff has been granted permission to proceed IFP, Plaintiff is entitled to rely on the Court and the U.S. Marshals Service to effect service. Walker v. Schult, 717 F.3d, 119, 123 n.6 (2d Cir, 2013); see also 28 U.S.C, § 1915(d) (“The officers of the court shall issue and serve all process... in [IFP] cases.”); Fed. R. Civ, P. 4(c)(3) (the court must order the Marshals Service to serve if the plaintiff is authorized to proceed IFP)). Although Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure generally requires that a summons and complaint be served within 90 days of the date the complaint is filed, Plaintiff is proceeding IFP and could not have served summonses and the complaint until the Court reviewed the complaint and ordered that summonses be issued. The Court therefore extends the time to serve until 90 days after the date summonses are issued, If the complaint is not served within that time, Plaintiff should request an extension of time for service. See Meilleur v. Strong, 682 F.3d 56, 63 (2d Cir, 2012) (holding that it is the plaintiff’s responsibility to request an extension of time for service); see also Murray v, Pataki, 378 F. App’x 50, 52 (2d Cir. 2010) (“As long as the [plaintiff proceeding IFP] provides the information necessary to identify the □ defendant, the Marshals’ failure to effect service automatically constitutes ‘good cause’ for an extension of time within the meaning of Rule 4(m).”). To allow Plaintiff to effect service on Defendants through the U.S. Marshals Service, the Clerk of Court is instructed to fill out a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form (“USM-285 form”) for the following defendants: Correction Officers J iminez, Harkins; Tracey, Del Bianco, Ortiz, Serringer, Prince, Albert, Lopez, Walden, Drexler, Bianchi, Kitson, Downer, Buckham, Morales, Lavalle, Piguet, and Nelson; Sergeants Figuerora; Santos; Campbell, Carbone, and Nienstedt; Nurse Pitt, and Nurse Administrators Osselman and Furco;
Commissioner’s Hearing Officer Mayes; Superintendent Burnett; Acting Director of Special Housing Units Anthony Rodrigues; Donald Venettozzi; Deputy Superintendent Wood; and Offender Rehabilitation Coordinator Losi.2 The Clerk of Court is further instructed to issue
summonses and deliver to the Marshals Service all the paperwork necessary for the Marshals Service to effect service upon these defendants.
Plaintiff must notify the Court in writing if his address changes, and the Court may dismiss the action if Plaintiff fails to do so. B. Local Civil Rule 33.2 Local Civil Rule 33.2, which requires defendants in certain types of prisoner cases to respond to specific, court-ordered discovery requests, applies to this action. Those discovery requests are available on the Court’s website under “Forms” and are titled “Plaintiff’s Local Civil Rule 33.2 Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents,” Within 120 days of service of the complaint, Defendants must serve responses to these standard discovery requests. In their responses, Defendants must quote each request verbatim. : CONCLUSION The Clerk of Court is further instructed to complete the USM-285 forms and deliver to the U.S. Marshals Service all documents necessary to effect service on the following Defendants: Correction Officers Jiminez, Harkins; Tracey, Del Bianco, Ortiz, Serringer, Prince, Albert, Lopez, Walden, Drexler, Bianchi, Kitson, Downer, Buckham, Lavalle, Piguet, Morales, and
2 Plaintiff has not supplied sufficient information for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to identify the John Doe defendants and the Court therefore does not at this stage ask the New York State Attorney General to attempt to identify these defendants. 3 If Plaintiff would like copies of these discovery requests before receiving the responses and does not have access to the website, Plaintiff may request them from the Pro Se Intake Unit.

Local Civil Rule 33.2 applies to this action. . The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would
not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf, Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED.
