Cantrell v. Hudson et al

Filing 49

ORDER denying 47 Motion to Compel. Signed by Magistrate Judge Beth Deere on 7/10/12. (kpr)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
JIMMY SHANE CANTRELL, ADC # 98730
V.

PLAINTIFF

CASE NO. 5:11CV00289 JMM/BD

JOHNNIE E. HUDSON, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Mr. Cantrell has filed a motion to compel, which includes a request for additional
time to respond to the pending motion for summary judgment. (Docket entry #47). The
motion (#47) is DENIED.
Mr. Cantrell has been provided two extensions of time to respond to the motion for
summary judgment that was filed over six weeks ago. Although he complains that the
disciplinary transcripts, as well as the appeals of his disciplinary convictions, that he
requests would prove that he exhausted his administrative remedies, the Court is not
persuaded. If Mr. Cantrell failed to follow the ADC grievance policy in fully exhausting
his administrative remedies regarding the claims that he has raised in this lawsuit, this
Court lacks jurisdiction to hear this case. Mr. Cantrell’s response to the pending motion
for summary judgment is currently due July 18, 2012.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of July, 2012.
