IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
JAMES LEE SPEARS, JR.
ADC #122695
V.

PLAINTIFF
NO. 3:13CV00250-KGB-BD

MISSISSIPPI COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Mr. Spears has moved for an order compelling the Defendants to fully respond to
his discovery requests. (Docket entry #50) Specifically, Mr. Spears complains that he
has not been provided the full incident report for the December 27, 2011 incident; nor has
he been allowed to view any video footage of the incident. The Defendants have
responded to Mr. Spears motion and have included their discovery responses to the Court.
(#51)
Based on the responses, it appears that any video footage of the alleged incident no
longer exists. It is unclear, however, whether the eight-page incident report provided to
Mr. Spears is the only report that exists addressing the December 27, 2011 incident, or
whether additional documents concerning the incident exist. Accordingly, Defendants
must provide Mr. Spears copies of all documents and reports concerning the December
27, 2011 incident within fourteen days. Defendants are instructed to file these papers
with the Court, if any such documents exist. If no other documents exist, Defendants
should notify the Court of that fact within fourteen days.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of April, 2014.
