Case No. 1:19-cv-00711-ADA-EPG (PC)
ADAM SHARPE,
ORDER REQUIRING RESPONSE TO
PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR PERMISSION
TO ADD DEFENDANT
(ECF No. 115)
Defendants.

Plaintiff Adam Sharpe is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this
19
civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case proceeds on Plaintiff’s claims that
20
Defendants C. Cryer, J. Lewis, and S. Gates were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical
21
needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Now before the Court is Plaintiff’s “request for
22
permission to add defendant.” (ECF No. 115, p. 1) (capitalization omitted).
23
As grounds, Plaintiff states that he recently received and reviewed the transcript of
24
Defendant Lewis, who claimed to have no involvement in the review of Plaintiff’s prison appeal,
25
and instead “place[d] responsibility and culpability on a previously unknown subordinate, Cindy
26
Nules.” (Id. at 1). Plaintiff states that he was unaware of her existence until now and had no way
27
of knowing about her “as her name does not appear anywhere in the appeal response, nor any
28
document Plaintiff was provided.” (Id. at 2).

Upon review, the Court will require a response to Plaintiff’s request to add Nules as a
defendant.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendants shall file a response to Plaintiff’s request
for permission to add a defendant (ECF No. 115) by no later than December 1, 2022.
