PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court on Defendants' Sealed Notices of Contact Information for Unserved Defendants (ECF Nos. 40, 42) and Notice of Compliance (ECF Nos. 41, 43). These notices are referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 of the Local Rules of Practice.
Mr. Tripp is a prisoner in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He is proceeding in this case pro se and in forma pauperis. This case arises from Tripp's allegations, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, regarding his treatment while he was incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center. The court reviewed the First Amended Complaint (ECF No. 14) and determined that it states five plausible claims for (1) Fourth Amendment excessive force against defendants Torres and Rose; (2) Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care against defendants Rose, Torres, and John Doe #1; (3) Fourteenth Amendment conditions of confinement against defendant John Doe #1; (4) Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care against defendants NaphCare, Inc., Dr. Durant, Eric Lopez, nurse Rachel, and John Does #2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; and (5) Fourteenth Amendment inadequate medical care against defendant Esparza. Screening Order (ECF No. 18).
The court directed the Clerk of Court to issue summons to defendants Dr. Durant, Esparza, Eric Lopez, NaphCare, Inc., nurse Rachel, M. Rose, and J. Torres and deliver the same to the U.S. Marshal Service ("USM") for service. Id., ECF No. 19. Service was accomplished for Rose, Lopez, and NaphCare. See Executed Summonses (ECF Nos. 21, 23, 26). However, the USM was unable to complete service for Torres, Dr. Durant, Esparza, and Rachel at the addresses he provided. See Unexecuted Summonses (ECF Nos. 20, 22).
Tripp filed multiple motions seeking the court's assistance in identifying additional information to serve the defendants. Order (ECF No. 38) (granting in part and denying in part Tripp's motions (ECF Nos. 25, 34, 35)). The court directed defense counsel to attempt to identify the unserved defendants based on the information Mr. Tripp provided in his pleadings and motions. If any defendant(s) was identified, defense counsel was instructed to file with the court under seal the full name, badge number (if applicable), and current or last known address and telephone number, and file a notice of compliance on the public docket to inform Tripp whether any defendant(s) was identified.
On March 18, 2019, counsel filed Sealed Notices of Contact Information for Unserved Defendants (ECF Nos. 40, 42) and Notice of Compliance (ECF Nos. 41, 43). Counsel for NaphCare and Lopez identified "nurse Rachel" as Rachel Rudd and "Dr. Durant" as Dr. Harry Duran, and provided their last known addresses under seal. ECF Nos. 40, 41. Counsel for Officer Rose identified "Torres" as Officer Jacqulyn Torres and "Esparza" as Officer Cesar Esparza, and provided their badge numbers and address under seal. ECF Nos. 42, 43.
Based on the additional information provided by defense counsel, the court will instruct the Clerk of Court to reissue summonses to these defendants and direct the USM to reattempt service. Mr. Tripp is once again cautioned that he is ultimately responsible for providing the USM with accurate and sufficient information to effectuate service. If the USM is unable to serve defendant(s) with this new information and Tripp wishes to have service attempted again, he must file a timely motion specifying a more detailed name and/or address for said defendant, or whether some other manner of service should be attempted. Mr. Tripp's failure to comply with this Order by accomplishing service by
