JOEY MARTIN, Jail Administrator,
Poinsett County Detention Center

DEFENDANT

ORDER

Plaintiff Nicholas Cortez Addison (“Addison”) commenced the case at bar by filing
a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. He alleged in the complaint that he is confined
in the Poinsett County Detention Center, the conditions of which are intolerable because
of, inter alia, excessive heat and an offending odor. He maintained that the conditions
violate his constitutional rights.
Addison has now filed a motion for discovery and for trial date. See Document 50.
In the motion, he asks for a “Freedom of Information Act and a motion for discovery
[and] ... a court date and speedy trial.” See Document 50 at CM/ECF 1.
The motion is denied. Addison’s requests for discovery should be directed to
defendant Joey Martin and should specify the documents Addison is seeking. A court/trial
date will be scheduled forthwith if the Court determines that a trial is necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of October, 2016.
