IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

EARNEST CONROD, JR.

REG #09239-042 PLAINTIFF

V. 2:03CV00183 GH/HDY

WILLIAM HASKIN, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion of Defendants Thompson, Watts, and Bryant, to

strike Plaintiff’s Notice of appeal (docket entry #82). Defendants assert that Plaintiff’s appeal

should be dismissed because it is premature. Although the appeal may be premature, that is a

jurisdictional question that must be addressed by the Court of Appeals. Accordingly, Defendants’

Motion before the District Court seeking to dismiss the appeal must be denied.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Defendants’ Motion to strike Plaintiff’s Notice of

appeal (docket entry #82), be DENIED.

DATED this 15th day of September, 2005.
