Filing
31
ORDER AND REASONS: ORDERED that 29 Motion to Compel is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Signed by Magistrate Judge Karen Wells Roby on 6/26/2018. (cml)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
SOLOMON J. VERDIN, JR.
CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
NO. 18-4830
SHERIFF JERRY LARPENTER, ET AL.
SECTION “J”(4)
ORDER AND REASONS
The plaintiff, Solomon J. Verdin, Jr., filed a pleading entitled Motion to Compel (Rec.
Doc. No. 29) requesting, under the broadest construction, that the Court order members of the
custodial and medical staff at the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex and the Terrebonne
Parish President to stop “retaliatory” actions against him in the form of medical care that he does
not find satisfactory. He lists nine people he seeks to have subject to the orders of this Court, but
only two appear to be named defendants in this action. He also fails to indicate any retaliatory
action or dereliction of duty by any identified person. His only recognizable assertion is that he
wants different or more medical care and attention than he is currently receiving.
Verdin already has several motions for injunctive relief and to supplement his complaint
to include claims of medical indifference, all of which are pending before the Court. These
motions will be addressed by the Court in due course following the Spears Hearing scheduled for
July 9, 2018, when the Court can ascertain what it is Verdin is truly asserting in his pleadings.
Verdin is cautioned that the continued filing of frivolous and repetitive motions is
becoming a burden on the Court’s docket. Because this motion is repetitive of relief already sought
in his other pleadings, it will dismissed without prejudice to his ability to pursue his already
pending motions seeking similar relief. Accordingly,
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Verdin’s Motion to Compel (Rec. Doc. No. 29)
is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 26th day of June, 2018.
