MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is defendants' Motion for Clarification Based on Changed Circumstances.
(Doc. # 21.) Filed contemporaneously with the motion was a Notice of Acceptance of Service where
Defendants' counsel indicated service of plaintiff's amended complaint was accepted on behalf of
defendants Colete Ball, Bruce Bannister, Giovanni Capra, James "Greg" Cox, Jon Garner, Dawn
Jones and William Sevier. (Doc. # 20.) Counsel states that service was accepted under the Attorney
General's arrangement with the District Court for pro se inmate § 1983 litigation and inquired
whether that policy would continue as to the remaining defendants in this case for whom service was
not accepted now that plaintiff is represented by counsel.
Service was not accepted as to defendant Michael Fisher, who is no longer an employee of
the Nevada Department of Corrections, for certain fictitiously named defendants or for an individual
with the last name of "Lee," first name unknown. (Id). As to those defendants for whom service was
not accepted, plaintiff will have to serve those defendants in accordance with the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. Plaintiff's counsel will also have to clarify the identity of the defendant identified
as "Correctional Officer Lee" before proceeding with service on this individual.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
