MEMORANDUM AND ORDER that this case may proceed to service of process as to Plaintiff's failure-toaccommodate claim under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act against the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and all other defendants in theirofficial capacities EXCEPT for defendants "CHRIS," "TAYLOR," and "FALK" because Plaintiff has failed to include enough information to identify these proposed defendants for purposes of service. If Pl aintiff wishes to serve process upon defendants Chris, Taylor, and Falk, he must provide the court with sufficient detail to identify and locate these defendants. The clerk of the court is directed to send to Plaintiff copies of the Complaint (F iling No. 1 ), Supplemental Complaint (Filing No. 18 ), Memorandum and Order on initial review (Filing No. 20 ), Supplemental Amended Complaint (Filing No. 21 ), and this Memorandum and Order, along with 16 summons forms and 16 USM 285 forms fo r service on the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services and the other defendants in their official capacities (with the exception of defendants Chris, Taylor, and Falk, as discussed in paragraph 1 above). (See attached Notice Regarding Servi ce.) If requested to do so, the United States Marshal will serve all process in this case without prepayment of fees from Plaintiff. In making such a request, Plaintiff must complete the USM 285 forms to be submitted to the clerk of the court with the completed summons forms. Without these documents, the United States Marshal will not serve process. Upon receipt of the completed forms, the clerk of the court will sign the summons forms and forward them to the United States Marshal for servic e on the defendants, together with a copy of the Complaint (Filing No. 1 ), Supplemental Complaint (Filing No. 18 ), and Supplemental Amended Complaint (Filing No. 21 ). In the event Plaintiff asks the United States Marshal to serve process, the clerk of the court will make copies of the Complaint, Supplemental Complaint, and Supplemental Amended Complaint for service on the defendants. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) requires service of the complaint on a defendant within 90 days of filing the complaint. However, Plaintiff is granted, on the court's own motion, an extension of time until 120 days from the date of this order to complete service of process. (See this court's General Order No. 2015-06.) The clerk of the court is directed to set the following pro se case management deadline: March 30, 2017, check for completion of service of process. Ordered by Senior Judge Richard G. Kopf. (Copies mailed as directed) (LAC)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER - Plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims for monetary relief for alleged past violations of the Constitution against defendant NDCS and all other defendants in their official capacities are barred by the Eleventh Amendment and are dismissed. Plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims brought under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments alleging that the defendants in their individual capacities subjected him to cruel and unusual punishment by being deliberately indif ferent to his serious medical needs are dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Plaintiff's purported state-law claim under the Nebraska Correctional Health Care Services Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 83-4,15 3 to 83-4,165 (Westlaw 2016), is dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On the court's own motion, the court will give Plaintiff 30 days in which to file an amended complaint that states a plausible failure-to-a ccommodate claim against the NDCS and the remaining defendants in their official capacities under Title II of the ADA. Plaintiff's amended complaint shall not contain attachments; shall be considered supplemental to Plaintiff's other two co mplaints; and shall allege only a failure-to-accommodate claim under Title II of the ADA. Plaintiff must allege that the defendants' failure to accommodate his alleged disability has prevented him from participating in specific programs and acti vities at his correctional institution. For example, Plaintiff must specify the inadequate accommodations that are the basis for his claim (such as failure to assign him to a permanent cell that is located on the main floor so as not to require him t o climb stairs and that has grab bars by the toilet and a lower bunk). Plaintiff must also specifically identify the activities, services, and programs in which he cannot participate due to the defendants' failure to accommodate Plaintiff's disability. Failure to file an amended complaint within 30 days will result in the court dismissing this case without further notice to Plaintiff. The clerk of the court is directed to set the following pro se casemanagement deadline: October 24, 2016: check for amended complaint. Ordered by Senior Judge Richard G. Kopf. (Copy mailed to pro se party) (KLF)
