IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
GREENVILLE DIVISION
LEE TOMMIE AMERSON
V.

PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:23-CV-00132-RP

CAPT. ROBERT DUDLEY, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This matter comes before the Court on the pro se prisoner complaint of Lee Tommie
Amerson, who challenges the conditions of his confinement under 42 U.S.C.§ 1983. In the
instant action, Amerson complains about conditions of his confinement while housed at the
Mississippi State Penitentiary located in Parchman, Mississippi. In particular, Amerson contends
that a number of Mississippi Department of Corrections employees conspired against him in
issuing allegedly false Rule Violation Reports (“RVRs”) against him. To the extent that
Amerson attempts to allege a Due Process violation, the complaint (and attached exhibits) fail to
demonstrate what, if any, punishment Amerson received as a result of the allegedly false RVRs.
Without that information, the Court cannot properly consider Amerson’s claims. Amerson is,
therefore, DIRECTED to advise the Court within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order what
punishment, if any, he received as a result of the RVRs at issue. The Court notes that the RVR
copies attached to Amerson’s complaint were completely illegible and Amerson must submit this
information in a legible format. Amerson’s failure to follow this directive will result in the
dismissal of this action without prejudice under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
SO ORDERED, this the 15th day of November, 2023.
