Date Filed Document Text
February 8, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 40 DECISION AND ORDER - All discovery herein is stayed until a decision on Defendant's impending motion to dismiss, which must be filed by March 1, 2011. Plaintiff's "Motion for Discovery and Motion for a Stay for Want and the Issuance o f a Subpoena" (Doc. No. 38) is denied without prejudice to its renewal after the discovery stay has been lifted. No subpoena will be issued at this time. However, Defendant's counsel shall give notice to the appropriate Greene County offici al in the nature of a litigation hold to maintain all evidence, including electronic evidence, relevant to this case for purposes of eventual discovery. Regarding Plaintiff's renewed request for appointment of counsel, as Plaintiff has been told before (1) no attorney can be compelled to take the case without being paid and (2) Congress has not appropriated any money for such a payment. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 2/8/2011. (kpf1)
January 21, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 36 SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM on Plaintiff's Objections (Doc. No. 35) to the Magistrate Judge's Decision and Order of January 17, 2011, which denied leave to file an amended complaint adding Greene County Sheriff Gene Fisher as a defendant (Doc. No. 28). Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 1/20/2011. (kpf1)
January 13, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 34 DECISION AND ORDER; SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OPINION - Plaintiff's Motion for Change of Venue 29 is denied; Plaintiff's Motion for Discovery (Doc. No. 31) is stricken for lack of signature; and Defendant's Motion to stay all discovery is granted pending ruling on Defendant's impending motion to dismiss. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 1/13/2011. (kpf1)
September 20, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 20 NOTICE TO PLAINTIFF - This case is before the Court on correspondence to the Clerk from Plaintiff dated September 10, 2010. Plaintiff advises that his Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 14) was filed for the purpose of adding The Greene County Jail and The Greene County Sheriff's Office as defendants. Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15, a plaintiff is entitled to file an amended complaint once before any answer is filed without the Courts permission; on that basis, the Amended Complaint was accepted. Howeve r, adding parties requires court permission which must be sought by a separate motion. The case is now stayed pending review by the Volunteer Lawyers Project. Once the stay is vacated, Plaintiff is free to move to add additional parties. However, Pla intiff is advised that the Greene County Jail and the Greene County Sheriff's Office are not suable entities under Ohio law. Rather, the proper party defendant for those two institutions would be the Greene County Sheriff in his official capacity. Signed by Magistrate Judge Michael R Merz on 9/18/2010. (kpf1)
