20

provisions herein. Plaintiff shall not be required to pay an initial partial filing fee. However, even if

this action is dismissed, the full filing fee still must be paid pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).

22

23

of prepayment of any additional fees or costs or the giving of security therefor. This order granting in

forma pauperis status shall not extend to the issuance of subpoenas at government expense.

That, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2), the Nevada Department of Corrections shall

26

pay to the Clerk of the United States District Court, District of Nevada, 20% of the preceding month's

deposits to plaintiff's account (in the months that the account exceeds $10.00) until the full filing fee

28

has been paid for this action. The Clerk shall SEND a copy of this order to the Finance Division of the

1

Clerk's Office. The Clerk shall also SEND a copy of this order to the attention of the Chief of Inmate

That the stay previously entered herein is lifted and that, within twenty-one (21) days

of entry of this order, the Attorney General's Office shall file a notice advising the Court and plaintiff

5

of: (a) the names of the defendant(s) for whom it accepts service; (b) the names of the defendant(s) for

6

whom it does not accept service, and (c) the names of the defendant(s) for whom it is filing last-known-

7

address information under seal. As to any of the named defendant(s) for whom the Attorney General's

8

Office cannot accept service, the Office shall file, under seal, the last known address(es) of those

9

defendant(s) for whom it has such information.

10

5.

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

11

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

12

name for the defendant(s). For the defendant(s) as to which the Attorney General has not provided

13

last-known-address information, plaintiff shall provide the full name and address for the defendant(s).

15

defendant(s) shall file and serve an answer or other response to the remaining claims within sixty (60)

16

days from the date of this order.

17

That, henceforth, plaintiff shall serve upon defendants’ counsel a copy of every pleading,

18

motion or other document submitted for consideration by the Court and shall attach a certificate of such

19

service with the paper submitted. Plaintiff shall direct service to the individual attorney named in the
