IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

NICHOLAS CORTEZ ADDISON PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 3:15-cv-00163 PSH

JOEY MARTIN, Jail Administrator, DEFENDANT

Poinsett County Detention Center

ORDER

Plaintiff Nicholas Cortez Addison (“Addison”) commenced the case at bar by filing

a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. In the complaint, he alleged the following:

On 6-4-15, Joey Martin violated my constitutional rights and

attempted to bribe me by telling me, and I quote, “If you stop filing paperwork, I’ll let your brother (Tristen Addison) come

back to the detox center with you.” When I asked Joey Martin what

paperwork, he said, “lawsuits.” I replied I have the right to file anything I

want if I feel my rights have been violated. It’s now Monday 6-7-15, [and]

my brother is still not here with me.

See Document 2 at CM/ECF 4.

Addison has now filed a motion for discovery and for trial date. See Document 39.

In the motion, he asks for a “Freedom of Information Act and a motion for discovery

[and] ... a court date and speedy trial.” See Document 39 at CM/ECF 1.

The motion is denied. Addison’s requests for discovery should be directed to

defendant Joey Martin and should specify the documents Addison is seeking. A court/trial

date will be scheduled forthwith if the Court determines that a trial is necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of October, 2016.
