MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is self-represented Plaintiff Charles Shattuck’s Motion to Correct the
Record of Defendants. Doc. [15]. The Court will grant the motion to the extent Plaintiff seeks to
identify by first names three Defendants he had identified in the complaint only by their last names.
To the extent Plaintiff seeks appointment of counsel to identify any remaining unknown
Defendants, the motion will be denied without prejudice.
The Court previously denied without prejudice Plaintiff’s motion to appoint counsel,
stating that Plaintiff had demonstrated that he could adequately present his claims to the Court.
See Doc. [10] at 18. 	The Court will again deny without prejudice Plaintiff’s motion for
appointment of counsel. 	Discovery in this matter will commence after the Court issues a case
management order (CMO). 	Through discovery, Defendants are required to disclose to Plaintiff
the names and identities of all individuals with knowledge of the facts giving rise to Plaintiff’s
claims. 	See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1). 	After Defendants’ initial disclosures, Plaintiff may file a
motion for leave to amend his complaint to identify any remaining unknown Defendants.
