Randeep Mann
Randeep Mann, the disgraced former doctor who is serving life in federal prison, saw his lawsuit against the Pulaski County Detention Facility and others thrown out last week.
The reason?
He waited too long to file the complaint that accused a number of people of giving him inadequate medical care and treatment while he was an inmate at the jail.
Mann, who paid $400 to have the lawsuit filed, needed to file the lawsuit within three years of 2011, which is when he left the Pulaski County jail. He didn’t get around to lodging the complaint until 2015, which was after the statute of limitations had expired.
Mann, who is at Indiana’s Terre Haute Federal Correctional Institution and is acting as his own lawyer, argued in his typewritten court filing that the statute of limitations shouldn’t apply to his case.
U.S. District Court Judge Kristine Baker disagreed and dismissed the case as frivolous.
The lawsuit was one of dozens that Mann filed in 2015, but most were dismissed shortly after he filed them.
Mann was arrested in March 2009 for the car bomb that gravely injured Dr. Trent Pierce of West Memphis, then chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board.
He was convicted in U.S. District Court in Little Rock in 2010.
