JANE M. VIRDEN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The plaintiff has filed motions [81 in 1:20CV140], [48 in 1:20CV215] to conduct discovery in this case proceeding under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging the conditions of his confinement. The plaintiff is currently incarcerated at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution. 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 motions [81 in 1:20CV140], [48 in 1:20CV215] are DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
