IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

JONESBORO DIVISION 

DEWAYNE MICHAEL DRIVER, PLAINTIFF 

ADC #170876 

V. CASE NO. 3:18-CV-188 KGB-BD 

MIKE ALLEN, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER 

Defendants have moved for summary judgment, contending that Mr. Driver failed 

to fully exhaust his administrative remedies before filing this lawsuit. (Docket entry #14) 

Mr. Driver now has an opportunity to file a response opposing the motion. To be 

considered, the response must be filed within 14 days of this Order. 

In opposing the motion for summary judgment, Mr. Driver may attach affidavits 

that he or others have signed. Because affidavits are sworn statements, they must be 

either notarized or declared under penalty of perjury (see 28 U.S.C. § 1746). Unsworn 

statements will not be considered in deciding the motion for summary judgment. And to 

be considered, an affidavit must be based on the personal knowledge of the person who 

signs it. 

Defendants’ motion concerns only whether Mr. Driver fully exhausted the 

grievance process regarding his claims against Defendants before filing this lawsuit. Mr. 

Driver’s response to this motion, therefore, should address only that issue—that is, 

whether he exhausted his administrative remedies against Defendants before filing suit 

and, if not, whether there was a valid reason why he did not.
