UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
COLE JOSEPH RODRIGUEZ

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO: 17-5177

THIBODAUX POLICE DEPT., ET AL

SECTION: "S" (2)

ORDER AND REASONS
Before the court is a "Motion to Reopen" (Rec. Doc. 21) filed by plaintiff.
On August 24, 2017, another judge of this court adopted the Magistrate Judge's Report
and Recommendation, which held that plaintiff's claims were barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512
U.S. 477 (1994). The instant motion to reopen, while brief, appears to suggest that plaintiff's
criminal cases have now been disposed of in a fashion that he contends meets the conditions of
Heck. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is REFERRED to the assigned magistrate
judge for further proceedings.

10th
New Orleans, Louisiana, this _____ day of September, 2019.
