MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint and proposed amended
complaint. (ECF Nos. 16, 16-1.) Defendants filed a limited opposition, noting that they do not
oppose the motion except that they object to Plaintiff’s attempt to add the State of Nevada and
Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) back in as defendants. (ECF No. 18.) Plaintiff filed a
reply indicating that he seeks to name the State of Nevada and NDOC as defendants only with
respect to the state law claims in Count II of the proposed amended complaint. (ECF No. 19.)
On or before November 3, 2017, Defendants shall file and serve a supplemental brief
addressing Plaintiff’s contention that the State of Nevada and NDOC are proper defendants in the
state law claims asserted in Count II of the proposed amended complaint. Plaintiff shall file and
serve a supplemental reply brief on or before November 17, 2017.
The hearing, previously scheduled for November 6, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. is VACATED. The
court will set a new hearing date after briefing is completed, if necessary, or issue a written order or
report and recommendation on the motion. The court will issue a separate order addressing
Plaintiff’s motion to extend the discovery deadlines.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
