Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ---------------------------------------------------------------X RICKY GONZALEZ, : : Plaintiff, : 24-CV-3859 (JLR) (RWL) : - against - : : ORDER C.O. JOHN JUNE, et al., : : Defendants. : : ---------------------------------------------------------------X ROBERT W. LEHRBURGER, United States Magistrate Judge. Plaintiff’s Complaint names “Jane” Diaz and “Jane Doe” as Defendants. (Dkt. 1 amended Dkt. 25.) Under Valentin v. Dinkins, a pro se litigant is entitled to assistance from the district court in identifying Doe defendants. 121 F.3d 72, 76 (2d Cir. 1997). The Complaint alleges that the Jane Diaz is a grievance officer at Rikers Island with the Incarcerated Individuals Grievance Procedure Program and is supervised by Rosamund Padmore. (Dkt. 25 at 7.) The Complaint alleges that Jane Doe is a nurse at Rikers Island who dispensed medication in the “O.B.C.C. building in housing area 2 southwest” on December 30, 2021, at approximately 12:00 P.M. (Dkt. 1 at ECF 16; Dkt. 25 at 2.) The Complaint also describes certain physical attributes of Jane Doe and that she was working in the R.N.D.C. clinic at Rikers Island on April 2, 2022. (Dkt. 1 at ECF 16-17.) The Complaint thus appears to supply sufficient information for the City of New York, an interested party, to identify Jane Doe and the first name of Jane Diaz. Accordingly, the Court orders the New York City Law Department to ascertain the identity of Jane Diaz and Jane Doe, and file its finding on the docket by November 20, 2025. SO ORDERED.
