No. 5:12CV00339-SWW-JJV

ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel and for Sanctions (Doc. No. 69). Plaintiff
seeks an order compelling Defendants to provide him with a copy of his medical records. Corizon
Medical Services has stated these records belong to the Arkansas Department of Correction and
prison policy prohibits their disclosure to inmates.
After careful consideration, the Court finds Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel and for Sanctions
(Doc. No. 69) is DENIED. Plaintiff must seek access to his medical records through the Arkansas
Department of Correction and not Corizon.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of April, 2013.

JOE J. VOLPE
UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
