GLADYS M. EVANS, et al.
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Order for Restoration of Files (Doc.
No. 98). Defendants filed a Response in opposition to the Order (Doc. No. 105).
In the Motion, Plaintiff Ratchford claims that Defendants destroyed the legal files he saved
on the Inmate Word Processing System (IWPS). Plaintiff does not, however, provide a list of the
documents allegedly at issue, or otherwise describe their content. In addition, Defendants fail to
address Plaintiff’s claim of destruction of files in their Response. Therefore, this Court requires
additional information from both parties prior to a ruling on the Motion. Accordingly,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiff Ratchford shall supplement his Motion
within ten days of the date of this Order. In this Supplement, Plaintiff shall specifically identify the
documents which he seeks to retrieve from the IWPS. Defendants shall file a response ten days after
receipt of Plaintiff’s Response, addressing the documents sought by Plaintiff and his claim of
destruction.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of March, 2012.
