CHARLES JORDAN PLAINTIFF v. WARDEN TRACY MACDONALD, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION [29] FOR DISCOVERY
JANE M. VIRDEN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The plaintiff has filed a motion [29] to conduct discovery in the present case proceeding under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging the conditions of his confinement. The plaintiff is currently incarcerated at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman. Discovery in pro se prisoner conditions of confinement cases is limited to that set forth in the court's scheduling order. The plaintiff has not provided sufficient justification for discovery beyond the limits set forth in that order. As such, he is not entitled to conduct discovery at this time, and the motion [29] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
