MINUTES OF THE COURT
July 23, 2015

PRESENT: THE HONORABLE WILLIAM G. COBB, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DEPUTY CLERK:

KATIE LYNN OGDEN REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Extend the Scope of the Discovery Requests. (Doc.
# 183 ), Defendant has responded. (Doc. # 188.) No reply was filed.
1

The court declines to extend any further discovery into whether there was a “grievance
lieutenant” or “disciplinary lieutenant” on duty when Plaintiff submitted his emergency grievance.2
Regardless of who else in the Nevada Department of Corrections hierarchy may have been on duty,
the simple fact of the matter is it was Defendant Jaeger who responded to Plaintiff’s grievance. The
issue before the court is whether Defendant Jaeger interfered with Plaintiff’s ability to pursue a
disciplinary appeal and grievance. (Screening Order, Doc. # 6 at 1.)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
