IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION

DAVID DANIELS PLAINTIFF

v. Civil No. 06-5205

 

SHERIFF KEITH FERGUSON;

CAPTAIN PETRAY; LT. CARTER;

SGT. FAULKENBURY; and SGT. NANCE DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On February 26, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the court order his

transfer from the Benton County Detention Center (BCDC) to the Washington County Detention

Center (Doc. 29). Plaintiff contends he is being verbally harassed by officers at the BCDC and

is on lock-down without a bedroll, a towel to take a shower, access to the phone, and without

visitation privileges. 

On March 13, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion asking the court to order his transfer to

a mental health facility (Doc. 31). Plaintiff states several family members have passed away and

he does not have the emotional capacity to deal with the loss while being locked in his cell

twenty-four hours a day. Moreover, plaintiff asserts he is being denied necessary medications.

The motions (Doc. 29 & Doc. 31) are denied. This court does not ordinarily interfere

with where state, county, or local authorities decide to house their prisoners or with the daily

aspects of conditions under which detainees are confined. Moreover, the court notes the plaintiff

is no longer incarcerated at the BCDC. Plaintiff has been transferred to the East Arkansas

Regional Unit of the Arkansas Department of Correction.

On March 13, 2007, Daniels filed a motion for jury trial (Doc. 33). The court notes

Daniels made a timely demand for jury trial. See (Doc. 2). Accordingly, his demand is noted on

the docket sheet. The motion for jury trial is therefore denied as moot.

On April 20, 2007, the plaintiff filed a motion for a hearing (Doc. 46) on his motions for

temporary restraining order. The motion for a hearing is denied. The undersigned will issue a

report and recommendation on the motions for temporary restraining order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of May 2007.
