IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
TONY GRIFFIN, SR.
ADC #150964
v.

PLAINTIFF

No. 4:13CV00625 JLH-JTK

MELANIE D. JONES-FOSTER, Doctor,
Wrightsville Unit, Arkansas Department of Correction

DEFENDANT

ORDER
Tony Griffin, Sr., has filed a motion requesting that this case be reassigned to the undersigned
judge. Griffin apparently believes that this case has been assigned to United States Magistrate Judge
Jerome T. Kearney instead of the undersigned. That is mistaken. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, Fed.
R. Civ. P. 72, and Local Rule 72.1, Magistrate Judge Kearney has been designated to hear and
determine pretrial matters and to make recommendations for the resolution of any dispositive matters;
but the case remains assigned to the undersigned judge for disposition of all dispositive matters and
for hearing appeals from any pretrial matters. The motion is therefore denied as moot. Document
#22.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 11th day of February, 2014.
