November 20, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 6 SCREENING ORDER. It is therefore ordered that Dixon's motion to file an oversized complaint (ECF No. #1 -2) is granted. It is ordered that the Eighth Amendment medical-indifference claim will proceed against Kenneth Williams, Jeremy Bean, David Rivas, Jaymie Cabrerra, Mary Manalastas, Justin McRoberts, Nurse Garcia, Nurse Flores, Nurse Workman, Nurse Mark, and Officer Shultz. And this claim will proceed against Officer Doe 14, Nurse Doe 28, Nurse Doe 33, and Doctor Doe 98 when Dixon learns their names and obtains leave of court to substitute them in as defendants. It is ordered that Patrick Moreda and Officer Assihari are dismissed without prejudice. It is ordered that Dixon's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. #1 ) is granted. Dixon is not required to pay an initial installment of the filing fee. And she is permitted to maintain this action to conclusion without the necessity of prepaying any additional fees or costs or giving security for them. But in the event this action is later dismissed, the full filing fee must still be paid under 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(2). It is ordered that the Nevada Department of Corrections will forward payments from the account of Sean J. Dixon, #62866 to the Clerk of the United States District Court, District of Nevada, 20% of the preceding month's deposits (in months that the account exceeds $10) until the full $350 filing fee has been paid for this action.

As to any of the named defendants for whom the Attorney General's Office cannot accept service, the Office will file, under seal, but will not serve on Dixon the last known addresses of those defendants for whom it has such information. If the last known address of the defendants is a post office box, the Attorney General's Office will attempt to obtain and provide the last known physical addresses. It is ordered the Clerk of the Court to (1) file the complaint (ECF No. #1 -1); (2) send plaintiff Seanah Dixon a courtesy copy of her complaint (ECF No. #1 -1); (3) send a copy of this order to (a) the Finance Division of the Clerk's Office and (b) the attention of Chief of Inmate Services for the Nevada Department of Corrections at formapauperis@doc.nv.gov; and (4) electronically serve a copy of this order and a copy of the complaint (ECF No. #1 -1) on the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Nevada by adding the Attorney General of the State of Nevada to the docket sheet (this does not indicate acceptance of service).
