“"The plaintiff makes no claim against the Secretary and has not complied with the procedural prerequisites for maintaining such a claim. Accordingly, any percentage of fault attributable to the Secretary is lost to plaintiff so far as recovery is concerned. Any other defendant found at fault will be liable on the basis of percentage of fault found attributable to such defendant." 224 Kan. at 463.”
