a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. In the complaint, he alleged the following:

On 6-4-15, Joey Martin violated my constitutional rights and
attempted to bribe me by telling let and I quote,
“If you stop filing paperwork, I’ll me,your brother (Tristen Addison) come
back to the detox center with you.” When I asked Joey Martin what
paperwork, he said, “lawsuits.” I replied I have the right to file anything I
want if I feel my rights have been violated. It’s now Monday 6-7-15, [and]
my brother is still not here with me.

See Document 2 at CM/ECF 4.
Addison has now filed a motion for discovery and for trial date. See Document 39.
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 39 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.
