OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on a Motion for Sanction/Report Rule 37 [DE 70], filed by
Plaintiff Tyquan Stewart on November 26, 2018. Defendants filed a response on December 10,
2017. Plaintiff has not filed a reply, and the time to do so has passed.
Plaintiff asks the Court to sanction Defendants for failing to allow him enter the jail to
inspect the jail. Plaintiff represents that he filed a motion to inspect the jail, which Plaintiff
represents the Court granted.
Defendants respond, and the Court agrees, that Plaintiff did not file a motion to inspect the
jail in this lawsuit and that the Court did not grant such a request in this lawsuit. Because there is
no order requiring that Plaintiff be permitted to inspect the jail, there is no basis for an award of
sanctions.
The Court hereby DENIES the Motion for Sanction/Report Rule 37 [DE 70].
SO ORDERED this 21st day of December, 2018.
