ADOC believes it can create this unit and staff the unit
head position.

In addition, both parties are to file briefs

discussing whether the court has the legal authority to grant
both the relief that they are requesting on staffing and the
relief being requested by the other party.

These briefs

should address both mental-health and correctional staffing,
and they should also address what would happen if the court
decides not to take any additional action on staffing.
DONE, this the 9th day of July, 2021.
