DEFENDANT

ORDER
Plaintiff has filed a motion for protective order (ECF No. 24). He indicates that he is concerned
that Defendants will destroy records important to his case. The motion (ECF No. 24) is DENIED.
Defendants are represented by counsel who, as officers of the Court, will ensure that no relevant records
are destroyed.
Plaintiff also asks if he will need to sign releases for his medical records and provide the
releases to the Court. Defendants, if they have not already done so, will ask for signed medical releases
from the Plaintiff. As Plaintiff put his health at issue in this case, Defendants are entitled to review his
records. The releases are not provided to the Court.
The Defendants are directed to file a summary judgment motion by May 30, 2014. Once the
motion is filed, Plaintiff will be asked to verify his receipt of the motion and notify the Court of how
he intends to respond.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 5th day of March 2014.
