March 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER OF SERVICE: To allow Plaintiff to effect service on Defendants A. Akinyombo, K. Ngbodi, and M. Baby (also known as Thomas), through the U.S. Marshals Service, the Clerk of Court is instructed to fill out a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form ("USM-285 form") for each of these defendants. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to issue a summons and deliver to the Marshals Service all the paperwork necessary for the Marshals Service to effect service upon these defendants. Under Valentin v. Dinkins, a pro se litigant is entitled to assistance from the district court in identifying a defendant. 121 F.3d 72, 76 (2d Cir. 1997). In the complaint, Plaintiff may supply sufficient information to permit the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) to identify the DOCCS officials with the Central Office Review Committee who were asked to approve Plaintiff's medical treatment for his degenerative osteoarthritis. It is therefore ordered that the New York State Attorney General, who is the attorney for and agent of the DOCCS, must ascertain the identity of each John or Jane Doe DOCCS official whom Plaintiff seeks to sue here and the address where the defendant may be served. The New York State Attorney General must provide this information to Plaintiff and the Court within sixty days of the date of this order.Within thirty days after receiving this information, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint naming the John or Jane Doe defendants. The amended complaint will replace, not supplement, the original complaint. An amended complaint form for Plaintiff to complete is attached to this order. Once Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint, the Court will screen the amended complaint and, if necessary, issue an order directing the Clerk of Court to complete the USM-285 forms with the addresses for the named John or Jane Doe Defendants and deliver to the U.S. Marshals Service all documents necessary to effect service. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff, together with an information package. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to: (1) complete the USM-285 forms with the addresses for Defendants A. Akinyombo, K. Ngbodi, and M. Baby (also known as Thomas) and deliver to the U.S. Marshals Service all documents necessary to effect service; and (2)mail a copy of this order and the complaint to New York State Attorney General at: 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005. An amended prisoner civil rights complaint form is attached to this order. The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for pro bono counsel, without prejudice to renewal of the motion. SO ORDERED (Signed by Judge Nelson Stephen Roman on 3/1/2021) (rj) Transmission to Pro Se Assistants for processing.
