IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

JIMMIE SIMPSON, 

ADC #092157 PLAINTIFF

V. 3:05CV00003 SWW/JTR

DICK BUSBY, Sheriff of 

Crittenden County, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On October 19, 2005, the Court appointed an attorney to represent Plaintiff in this § 1983

action. See docket entry #46. Approximately a year later, on October 26, 2006, Plaintiff filed a pro

se Motion for Discovery, in which he asks the Court to ascertain the whereabouts of a potential

witness. See docket entry #72. As explained to Plaintiff in the October 19, 2005 Order, he cannot

file pro se pleadings now that he is represented by counsel. Instead, all pleadings and motions must

be filed and signed by his appointed counsel. See docket entry #46 (citing Local Rule 5.5(c)(2)).

Accordingly, the Court will deny Plaintiff’s Motion. Plaintiff should discuss his discovery concerns

with his appointed counsel. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Plaintiff’s Motion for Discovery (docket entry #72)

is DENIED.

Dated this 31st day of October, 2006.
