PLAINTIFF

CODY GENTRY, Individually and as a
Police Officer for the City of Blytheville,
Arkansas, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Pending is pro se Plaintiff’s Motion for Criminal Charges to be Assessed Thru Federal
Grand Jury (Doc. No. 93). Plaintiff filed identical Motions on August 15 and August 21, 2012,1
which were denied.2
Plaintiff asserts that Defendants Cody Gentry and Ross Thompson conspired against the
rights of a citizen, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241. Plaintiff asks that this Court order a grand jury
be summoned under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(a) to investigate the alleged criminal
actions. While the authority to convene a grand jury is vested in the District Court, I again
decline to exercise that authority under these circumstances. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion for
Criminal Charges to be Assessed (Doc. No. 93) is, again, DENIED.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to not accept any further motions from Plaintiff asking
for criminal charges to be assessed through the grand jury.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 27th day of August, 2012.
