Ultimately, it is Plaintiff's responsibility to identify Defendant John Doe I and file a motion to substitute his real name. The failure to do so will result in the dismissal of Defendant John Doe I without prejudice. 3) Defendants Centurion, Shawn Gibson, Trent Allen (in his individual capacity), Rebecca Riggs, Latoya Hughes, and John Does II and III are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and Sec. 1915A.
