ORDER

The parties recently filed their joint statement outlining the witnesses and evidence

they plan on presenting at the January 30, 2015 hearing. According to that statement,

Plaintiff wishes to call four witnesses: Sergeant Battle, Officer Baily, Kevin Maurice Rhodes,

and Megan White. Sergeant Battle has retired and relocated to Ohio. Securing his

attendance at the evidentiary hearing appears impractical and Plaintiff will not be allowed

to call him. In addition, the record fails to show how testimony from Kevin Maurice Rhodes

or Megan White would be relevant to this case. Thus, Plaintiff will not be allowed to call

those witnesses. Finally, Plaintiff claims he delivered his initial grievance form to Officer

Bailey on January 21, 2007. Officer Bailey, therefore, may have information relevant to the

exhaustion issue. Defendants will be required to arrange for Officer Bailey to appear at the

evidentiary hearing or provide an explanation why they are unable to do so. If they are

unable to secure his attendance, Defendants should indicate Officer Bailey’s contact

information such that he can be subpoenaed.

Accordingly,

Officer Bailey’s contact information such that he can be subpoenaed.

DATED this 22nd day of January, 2015.
