September 20, 2017	Filing 9 ENTRY Granting In Forma Pauperis Status, Screening Complaint, Substituting Defendant, and Directing Issuance and Service of Process - Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. Because plaintiff writes that the jail refuses to provide him with a copy of his trust account financial transactions, the Court is unable to calculate an initial partial filing fee as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b). A collection order shall issue by separate entry to collect the $350 fil ing fee. This order can be revisited once plaintiff is able to provide a copy of his trust account records. The complaint is dismissed against the Clark County Jail and the clerk is directed to terminate the Clark County Jail from this action. It is the sheriff who is responsible for jail conditions. Accordingly, the Court, liberally construing the pro se complaint to name the Sheriff of Clark County as defendant, directs the clerk to add the Sheriff of Clark County as a defendant to this action . Should plaintiff believe the Court has overlooked or omitted a claim or defendant in this screening, he shall have through October 11, 2017, to notify the Court of such claims and/or defendants. The clerk is designated pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4 (c)(3) to issue process to defendant Sheriff of Clark County in the manner specified by Rule 4(d). Process shall consist of the complaint, dkt. 1, applicable forms (Notice of Lawsuit and Request for Waiver of Service of Summons and Waiver of Service of Summons), and this Entry. Copy sent to plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 9/20/2017. (MAT)
