15

This is an action on a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, removed from

16

state court. The complaint was previously screened by the Court. (ECF No. 6). The screening

17

order imposed a 90-day stay and the Court entered a subsequent order scheduling a mediation

18

conference. (ECF Nos. 6 & 9). The minutes from the mediation conference indicate that settlement

19

was not reached. (ECF No. 11). The Office of the Attorney General filed an amended status report

20

informing the Court of its intent to proceed with this action. (ECF No. 13).

21

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

22

1.

The Clerk shall electronically SERVE a copy of this order and a copy of plaintiff’s

23

complaint (ECF No. 7) on the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Nevada,

Subject to the findings of the screening order (ECF No. 6), within twenty-one (21)

26

27

notice advising the Court and plaintiff of: (a) the names of the defendants for whom

28

it accepts service; (b) the names of the defendants for whom it does not accept

1

service, and (c) the names of the defendants for whom it is filing last-known-address

2

information under seal. As to any of the named defendants for which the Attorney

3

General’s Office cannot accept service, the Office shall file, under seal, the last

4

known address(es) of those defendant(s) for whom it has such information.

5

3.

If service cannot be accepted for any of the named defendant(s), plaintiff shall file a

6

motion identifying the unserved defendant(s), requesting issuance of a summons, and

7

specifying a full name and address for the defendant(s). For the defendant(s) as to

8

which the Attorney General has not provided last-known-address information,

9

plaintiff shall provide the full name and address for the defendant(s).

10

4.

If the Attorney General accepts service of process for any named defendant(s), such

11

defendant(s) shall file and serve an answer or other response to the complaint within

12

sixty (60) days from the date of this order.

Henceforth, plaintiff shall serve upon defendant(s) or, if an appearance has been

14

entered by counsel, upon their attorney(s), a copy of every pleading, motion or other

15

document submitted for consideration by the Court. Plaintiff shall include with the

16

original paper submitted for filing a certificate stating the date that a true and correct

17

copy of the document was mailed to the defendants or counsel for the defendants. If

18

counsel has entered a notice of appearance, the plaintiff shall direct service to the

19

individual attorney named in the notice of appearance, at the address stated therein.

20

The Court may disregard any paper received by a district judge or magistrate judge

21

which has not been filed with the Clerk, and any paper received by a district judge,

22

magistrate judge, or the Clerk which fails to include a certificate showing proper

23

service.
