ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO SEND PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBITS TO DEFENDANTS AND GRANTING DEFENDANTS TIME TO FILE AN AMENDED MOTION TO STRIKE

JASON B. LIBBY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff Julius Turner is a Texas inmate assigned to the McConnell Unit in Beeville, Texas. Plaintiff is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis. He filed this prisoner civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

On July 26, 2018, Plaintiff notified the Court that he had designated Dr. Harry Bonnell as "his non-retained testifying expert witness." (D.E. 36). In his response to Defendants' summary judgment motion, Plaintiff included Dr. Bonnell's affidavit as part of his attached exhibits. (D.E. 43-2, pp. 2-4). On October 15, 2018, Defendants filed a motion to strike Dr. Bonnell's affidavit. (D.E. 45). Defendants stated in their motion to strike, however, that Plaintiff had not served them with any of the exhibits attached to his response to the summary judgment motion.1 (D.E. 45, p. 5). Thus, Defendants have had no opportunity to fully review Dr. Bonnell's affidavit in its entirety or any other exhibits supporting his credentials as an expert witness.

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to mail to Defendants a copy of all of Plaintiff's exhibits which were attached to his response (D.E. 43-2). Upon review of Dr. Bonnell's affidavit as well as any exhibits supporting Plaintiff's assertion that Dr. Bonnell is a proper expert witness, Defendants shall file on or before October 26, 2018 an amended motion to strike Dr. Bonnell's affidavit.
