Filing 24

ORDER denying 23 Motion for Advancement of Funds. Signed by Magistrate Judge Roy Percy on 11/30/17. (jla)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
GREENVILLE DIVISION

OTIS OLIVER MCCRAY

PLAINTIFF

V.

NO. 4:17CV115- RP

MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s “Motion for Advancement of Funds.” Doc. #23. In the
instant motion, Plaintiff asks the Court to advance him $10,000 so that he can pay medical bills
with which he has been wrongfully assigned responsibility. Id. Plaintiff’s request is wholly
baseless, and his motion [23] is DENIED. To the extent that Plaintiff’s complaint did not
adequately assert this claim, however, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s complaint is hereby
AMENDED to include a claim that the Mississippi Department of Corrections (“MDOC”) has
wrongfully assigned to Plaintiff the responsibility to pay medical bills for services performed
while he was in the custody of MDOC.
SO ORDERED this the 30th day of November, 2017.
