Presently before the court is plaintiff Frederic Green’s renewed Motion Requesting Issuance
of a Summons for Unserved Defendants (ECF No. 25), filed on January 19, 2018.
Following the inmate early mediation in this case, the court ordered the Attorney General to

16

provide the names of defendants for whom the Nevada Department of Corrections (“NDOC”)

17

would accept service of process. (Order (ECF No. 20).) The court further ordered the Attorney

18

General to provide the names of defendants for whom it would not accept service. (Id.) For any

19

unserved defendants, the court ordered Green to file a motion identifying those defendants,

20

requesting issuance of a summons, and specifying those defendants’ full names and addresses. (Id.)

21

The Attorney General filed the court-ordered notice, which stated that the NDOC was

22

unable to accept service for Dr. George Dennis Leaks and that it does not maintain a personnel file

23

for this defendant and therefore does not have his last known address. (Notice (ECF No. 22).)

24

Green now requests that the court issue a summons for Dr. George Dennis Leaks, stating that his

25

address is 2120 East Calvada Boulevard, Pahrump, Nevada, 89048. Given that Green has provided

26

the required information, the court will grant his motion.

Issuance of a Summons for Unserved Defendants (ECF No. 25) is GRANTED.

with the court by February 20, 2018. Upon receipt of the USM-285 form from plaintiff, the court

6

will enter an additional order directing the clerk of court to deliver the summons, the completed

7

USM-285 form, a copy of plaintiff’s amended complaint (ECF No. 4), and a copy of this order to
