ORDER

Plaintiff Patrick Lee filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action pro se on October 7, 2015. ECF
No. 1. Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel. ECF No. 49. Defendants
Patterson and Miller have filed a Response. ECF No. 50. Defendants also filed a Notice of
Defendants’ Disclosures to Plaintiff. ECF No. 51. In his Motion Plaintiff insists there must be
additional documents relating to Defendant Patterson’s work record in his personnel file that have
not been provided to him by Defendants. The documents described by Defendants in their Notice
of Disclosures do not reference materials in Defendant Patterson’s personnel file.
Although Plaintiff did not specifically request these items, the Court DIRECTS
Defendants to search for any additional documents such as in house complaints, reprimands, or
disciplinary measures involving Defendant Patterson during his employment with the Miller
County Detention Center. Defendants are to provide Plaintiff and the Court with any such
documents, if they exist, no later than October 14, 2016 in order to assist the Court in ruling on
Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of September 2016.
