STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR RICK L. BROWN TO RESPOND TO THE AMENDED COMPLAINT

(First Request)

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Marty Furtado, by and through his attorney, Travis N. Barrick, Esq., and Defendant Rick L. Brown, by and through counsel, Adam Paul Laxalt, Nevada Attorney General, and Jared M. Frost, Senior Deputy Attorney General, hereby stipulate and agree that the time for Rick L. Brown to respond to the Amended Complaint shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days.

On April 18, 2018, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint. ECF No. 5. On April 20, 2018, the Court issued summonses directed to the State of Nevada ex rel the Nevada Department of Corrections, Ruben R. Jimenez, Rick L. Brown, Adam Michael Isaacson, and Anthony M. Williams. ECF No. 7. Also on April 20, 2018, Plaintiff's counsel provided service waivers for Defendants Ruben R. Jimenez and Rick L. Brown. On May 2, 2018, Plaintiff served the State of Nevada and Rick L. Brown with a Summons and Complaint.

The parties here state that there is good cause for the extension. Defendant Brown recently retired from State service, and defense counsel is currently in the process of reestablishing contact with him for litigation purposes. In addition, Defendants have informed Plaintiff that Rick L. Brown appears to have been improperly named in the Amended Complaint because he has never worked at High Desert State Prison. Lastly, Plaintiff is still trying to complete service on the remaining individually-named defendants. For all these reasons, the parties have agreed to extend the time for Rick L. Brown to respond to the Amended Complaint for an additional sixty (60) days.

SO ORDERED. Defendant Rick L. Brown shall respond to the Amended Complaint no later than August 17, 2018.
