PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:15-cv-314-LG-RHW

EVAN HUBBARD, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

This cause is before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion for Discovery [10]. Plaintiff, an
inmate currently housed at the Harrison County Detention Center, filed this pro se Complaint
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 24, 2015, Plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in
forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 [6]. Since Plaintiff is a prisoner and proceeding in forma
pauperis, his case is subject to the screening procedures of the Prison Litigation Reform Act
(PLRA), 42 U.S.C. § 1997e and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Therefore, process has not been served and
any discovery is premature. After review of Plaintiff’s Motion [10], it is hereby,
ORDERED:
1. That Plaintiff’s Motion for Discovery [10] is DENIED as premature. As stated above,
this case is in the initial screening stages under § 1915 and process has not yet issued.
2. That Plaintiff is warned that his failure to advise this Court of a change of
address or his failure to timely comply with any order of this Court may result in this cause
being dismissed.
SO ORDERED, this the 8th day of October, 2015.
