LEE TOMMIE AMERSON, PLAINTIFF v. CAPT. ROBERT DUDLEY, et al., DEFENDANTS
ORDER
ROY PERCY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court on the plaintiff's pro se motion requesting additional discovery related to his claims in the instant civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Doc. # 34. In particular, Plaintiff seeks “additional administrative records and photographs/video camera footage of the assault related to this incident.” Amerson acknowledges that he did receive the court-ordered discovery from the Mississippi Department of Corrections (“MDOC”), but seemingly complains of the quality of the photographs. Plaintiff further complains that he did not receive a copy of the video recording of the alleged assault.
Upon due consideration, the Court finds the motion [34] should be GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. To the extent that MDOC has failed to provide Plaintiff “his disciplinary records, administrative records, photographs/videos, medical records, and any other records related to this incident” in full, the Court finds the motion should be GRANTED. Accordingly, within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order, MDOC must produce any of these records which have not already been produced to Plaintiff in as legible a format as possible. To the extent that Plaintiff seeks any additional relief, the motion is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
