MINUTES OF THE COURT
August 18, 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 Requesting Clarification of this Court’s Order (Doc.
#199).” (Doc. # 205.) The court’s Order (Doc. # 199) cited the Defendant’s filing of Doc # 197,
Notice of Compliance, upon which the order was predicated and further stated:
Defendant has admitted he processed Plaintiff’s emergency grievance. Although still
contending he had the requisite authority as “segregation sergeant and thus a shift
supervisor for purposes of AR 740" (Doc. # 197 at 1), he admits there is no specific
Nevada Department of Corrections administrative regulation or operating procedure
which specifically authorized Defendant Jaeger to respond to the emergency
grievance. (Id.) To the extent there is any relevance what Defendant Jaeger’s grant
of authority was from NDOC, that issue is resolved.
***
Thus, in the court’s mind, the issue about what authority Sgt. Jaeger had – or did not
have – has been unequivocally identified. The court does not see how the additional
discovery Plaintiff proposes will elucidate any additional information relevant to the
only viable claims, which are “the claims under the First Amendment and Article 1,
Section 9 of the Nevada Constitution against the defendants for alleged retaliation
and/or interference with Plaintiff’s ability to pursue a disciplinary appeal and
grievance.” (Doc. # 6 at 3.)

The court’s order is self explanatory and needs no further elaboration.
