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 the Court to reconsider its order striking his requests for
admissions or, in the alternative, to extend the dispositive motions deadline. (Docket
entry #86) He complains that the Mississippi County Defendants have objected to his
discovery requests because he directed those requests to the County Defendants as a
whole rather than individually. These Defendants are represented by the same law firm,
but Mr. Spears must serve discovery requests on each Defendant who is to respond, even
if the discovery requests are similar or identical.
The Court will extend the dispositive motions deadline to December 23, 2014, so
that the parties have adequate time to complete discovery before dispositive motions are
due.
The motion (#86) is DENIED, in part, and GRANTED, in part, this 11th day of
August, 2014.
