ORDER

This matter is before the court upon the motion [DE-72] requesting an ex parte hearing by
the pro se Plaintiff, Joe E. Teague, Jr. ("Teague"). In the handwritten motion, Teague notes that
he previously requested an ex parte hearing with United States Magistrate Judge David W.
Daniel, and he states that Judge Daniel summarily denied his request in an order filed on April 4,
2012. He summarizes the reasons why he feels Judge Daniel's previous order was "egregious,"
and further argues that this case should be reopened. He requests a time to speak with a new
magistrate judge and the Clerk of Court for the Eastern District.
As Judge Daniel noted in his April 4, 2012, Order [DE-71], this case has been closed for
some time and Plaintiffs previous motions to reconsider and appeals to the Fourth Circuit have
not proven successful. Like Judge Daniel did, the undersigned also finds no basis for granting
Plaintiff an ex parte hearing before a judicial officer or the Clerk of Court. Plaintiffs motion
[DE-72] is therefore DENIED.
SO ORDERED. This the 2
