East Arkansas Regional Unit, ADC, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Plaintiff has filed a Motion asking the Court to compel Defendants to produce
three documents that were reviewed during his May 25, 2011 disciplinary hearing.
Doc. 55. Defendants argue that the Motion to Compel is improper because Plaintiff
has not previously sent them a request for production seeking copies of those
documents. Doc. 58. Nevertheless, Defendants have recently sent Plaintiff a copy of
the requested documents. Thus, the Motion to Compel is moot.
Plaintiff also seeks an additional thirty days to file his Response to Defendants'
Motion for Summary Judgment. Doc. 57. The Court finds good cause for granting
that request.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1.

Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. 55) is DENIED AS MOOT.

2.

Plaintiff's Motion for an Extension of Time (Doc. 57) is GRANTED, and

he must file, or before March 27, 2014, a Response to Defendants' Motion for
Summary Judgment that complies with the instructions in the February 5, 2014 Order.
Dated this 25th day of February, 2014.
