Filing 25

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
OXFORD DIVISION
ARNELL LEE

PLAINTIFF
NO. 3:18CV00058-NBB-JMV

F. FIGUERON, Warden, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS
AMENDED ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s response to this Court’s February 5 Show Cause Order [16]. By
that Order the Court directed Plaintiff to—within 14 days—either complete service of process or show
cause why this action should not be dismissed. In his response [19] Plaintiff explains difficulty he has
had locating the individual defendants following issuance of the Court’s Order. The Court notes that
Defendant “Correctional Corporation of America,” however, has now been served and has answered the
Complaint. Also, by his response, Plaintiff seeks additional time to serve the remaining defendants and
leave to file a pro hac vice application on behalf of associated counsel with permission to file the required
certificate of good standing upon receipt from California.
Though it appears that Plaintiff’s attempts at service of process in this case all postdate the
February 5 Show Cause Order, Plaintiff is hereby granted time until 4/2/19 to serve the remaining
defendants. No additional time will be granted except upon a showing of good cause. In the interim,
however, this case will be set for a case management conference.
With respect to the request for leave to file a pro hac vice application without the required
certificate of good standing, the docket reflects this request is now moot.
SO ORDERED this 11th day of March, 2019.
