Jones v. Bishop
August 19, 2010
MALIK JONES, PLAINTIFF,
v.
J.L. BISHOP, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Justin L. Quackenbush Senior United States District Judge
ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS; SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER DIRECTING SERVICE ON DEFENDANT MCGUIRE
1. Plaintiff's "'Imminent Danger Motion'" (Ct. Rec. 26) is DENIED.
