Case No. 2:23-cv-0739-MMD-EJY

Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
STATE OF NEVADA, et al.,

8

Defendants.

On May 17, 2024, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file a report that provides as much

11

information as possible regarding Defendant Crumbell including, but not necessarily limited to, his

12

first name or first initial, badge number, job title, and physical description. ECF No. 12. On June

13

3, 2024, Plaintiff submitted a mistitled Motion in which he identifies Crumbell as “CC2 Mr.

14

Crumwell, Caseworker at Southern Desert Correction Center … [located at] 20825 Cold Creek

15

Road, Indian Springs, Nevada 89070.” ECF No. 14. The Court finds this information should

16

enhance the Deputy Attorney General’s ability to identify Defendant Crumwell (fka Crumbell) for

17

purposes of determining whether service of Plaintiff’s Complaint may be accepted on behalf of this

18

individual.

19

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that commencing immediately the Deputy

20

Attorney General must conduct a reasonable investigation into the identity of “CC2 Mr. Crumwell,

21

Caseworker at Southern Desert Correction Center.”

22

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Deputy Attorney General must file a report no later

23

than July 5, 2024 informing the Court whether Defendant Crumwell has been identified and service

24

of Plaintiff’s Complaint is accepted on behalf of this defendant.

25

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Defendant Crumwell is identified but service is not

26

accepted, counsel for the defense must, no later than July 5, 2024, file Mr. Crumwell’s last known

27

physical address under seal (no motion seeking permission to seal need be filed) and without serving

28

Plaintiff.
