Before the Court is a motion for leave of court to file a motion filed by inmate Jesse
A. Ross, Inmate #1095756 (“Ross”). (ECF No. 89.) In this motion, Ross claims to be
assisting Plaintiff Jerry Salas (“Salas”) with his legal work and specifically his opposition
to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. (Id.) Ross asks the Court to order the
Nevada Department of Corrections to allow him to meet with Salas to return his legal work
and answer any questions Salas may have. (Id.)
While Salas may have the assistance of law clerks at the prison, the Court will not

appoint one inmate to represent another. Additionally, Ross is not a party to this case
and may not file paperwork on behalf of himself or Salas. Therefore, the motion for leave
of court to file a motion and/or motion for court order (ECF No. 89) is hereby DENIED and
STRICKEN.
However, the Court will sua sponte grant Salas an extension of time until August
19, 2021 to file an opposition to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. (ECF No.
82).
