Barnes v. Payne et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
CENTRAL DIVISION
CAMBRIN BARNES 	PLAINTIFF
ADC # 147871
v. 	Lead Case No. 4:24CV00910-KGB-JTK
Consolidated Case No. 2:25CV00044-KGB-JTK
DEXTER PAYNE, et al. 	DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Cambrin Barnes’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion for Discovery (Doc. No. 71) is DENIED. In his
Motion, Plaintiff seeks an address at which to serve Defendant Archie. (Id. at 1). But the Arkansas
Division of Correction (“ADC”) already provided Defendant Archie’s last known address, and
service attempted at that address—as well as service attempted through the ADC Compliance
Office—failed. (Doc. Nos. 48, 65). Consequently, the Court directed Plaintiff to provide a valid
address for service for Defendant Archie. (Doc. No. 68). It is Plaintiff’s responsibility to provide
a service address for Defendant Archie. See Lee v. Armontrout, 991 F.2d 487, 489 (8th Cir. 1993)
(per curiam); see also FED. R. C IV. P. 4(m) (any defendant not served within ninety (90) days after
the filing of the Complaint is subject to dismissal without prejudice).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8 th day of December, 2025.
