Case No. 2:12-cv-01954-JCM-CWH
Defendants.
ORDER

17
Plaintiff Anthony Bailey has submitted a motion requiring the court to restore defendants
Clark County and Clark County Detention Center (#18). The court denies this motion.
As a threshold matter, the motion is not signed by all plaintiffs. Plaintiff Bailey cannot
18
represent the other plaintiffs. Russell v. United States, 308 F.2d 78, 79 (9th Cir. 1962). For that
19
reason alone, the court would deny the motion.
20
The court dismissed the Clark County Detention Center because it is a building, not an entity
21
that is capable of suing or being sued. The mission statement that plaintiff Bailey attached to the
22
motion does not create an entity that is capable of suing or being sued.
23
The court dismissed Clark County because plaintiffs had not alleged any involvement by the
24
county at all. Plaintiff Bailey now claims that Clark County failed to train the “Las Vegas
25
Metropolitan Police Department/CCDC,” which plaintiff Bailey styles as a subordinate to Clark
26
County. These allegations appear nowhere in the complaint. Furthermore, plaintiffs did not name
27
the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department as a defendant in this action. Plaintiff Bailey cannot
28
1
now attempt to conflate the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department with the Clark County
2
Detention Center to try to make the police department a defendant.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff Bailey’s motion requiring the court to restore
defendants Clark County and Clark County Detention Center (#18) is DENIED.
DATED: May 14, 2013.
