Dunn et al v. Thomas et al

Filing 1683

ORDER: As stated in open court on February 26, 2018, it is ORDERED that plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction (doc. no. 1614 ) is folded into the resolution of the issue of segregation remedy. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(2). The court will consider only "admissible evidence" presented at the segregation remedy hearing. Thus, if the defendants want the court to consider the videos and testimony regarding them, they must present the videos and related testimony as evidenc e (in an understandable form) at the hearing. The court will also consider whether to enter a partial, interim relief order on an expedited basis prior to entering any more comprehensive remedial order on segregation. It is further ORDERED that plaintiffs' motion to strike (doc. no. 1670 ) is denied as moot. Signed by Honorable Judge Myron H. Thompson on 3/1/2018. (kh, )
