IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

WALLACE A. GARDNER, ADC # 110784 PLAINTIFF

v. 5:16CV00024-DPM-JJV

CHRISTOPHER BUDNIK, Deputy Warden, 

Varner Unit; et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Now pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. (Doc. No. 7.) Therein,

Plaintiff has included an affidavit and several grievance documents which were exhausted after he

mailed his initial Complaint (Doc. No. 2) but before it was actually filed. Based on these exhausted

grievances Plaintiff seeks to add three new Defendants to this action - Estella Bland, Lisa Gibson,

and Kennie L. Bolden. (Doc. No. 7 at 2.) The Amended Complaint does not include a statement

of Plaintiff’s claims against any of these Defendants and I decline to accept his grievance documents

as a substitute. Moreover, I have already afforded Plaintiff an opportunity to amend his initial

Complaint. (Doc. No. 4.) If he wishes to add these or any other Defendants he may do so as part

of a single amended pleading which contains all claims and parties he wishes to sue. 

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall strike Plaintiff’s Amended

Complaint (Doc. No. 7) from the record.

DATED this 2nd day of February, 2016.
