DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Mr. Spears has moved for a Court order compelling the Defendants to provide
more thorough responses to his discovery requests. (Docket entry #29) Defendants have
responded to the motion, attaching copies of their discovery responses. (#30) Based on
these responses, it appears that the Defendants have complied with the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure in responding to Mr. Spears’s discovery requests. Accordingly, the
motion to compel (#29) is DENIED.
In addition, counsel for Defendants Cook, Hicks, Hill, and Harville has moved to
set aside service of process for Defendants Faulkner and Pope. (#34) According to the
motion, these Officers are no longer employed with Mississippi County, and service
should not have been accepted for these Defendants. Counsel for Defendants Cook,
Hicks, Hill, and Harville previously provided the last-known addresses for Defendants
Faulkner and Pope to the Court under seal. (#24)

The motion (#34) is GRANTED. Service for Defendants Faulkner and Pope is set
aside, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to modify the docket sheet to reflect this
correction.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of February, 2014.
