Plaintiff,

ORDER

11

v.

12

Sandra Lawrence, et al.,

13

Defendants.

14

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff Eulandas J. Flowers (“Plaintiff”) will be given the

15

opportunity to, once again, view the video records on which he purports to have orally

16

filed emergency grievances in early April of 2014.

17

Plaintiff will carefully identify the specific periods of time in which he believes he

18

grieved by noting the exact time of the beginning and end of each alleged grievance, the

19

date of each alleged grievance, and the video record on which each alleged grievance

20

may be located.

While reviewing these videos,

21

Plaintiff is cautioned that he must make a good faith effort to limit his time range

22

to only the portion of the video Plaintiff argues constitutes a grievance. For example, if

23

Plaintiff identifies 27 hours of video as his “grievance,” the Court will deem Plaintiff to

24

not be acting in good faith, and to be admitting that he can point to no portion of the

25

video that is legitimately a grievance.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defense counsel will contact Plaintiff in order
to arrange a time to view the video by Wednesday, July 6, 2016.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff will view the video by Wednesday,

1

July 20, 2016.

2

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff will communicate to Defense counsel

3

the specific periods of time in which he believes he grieved on the video records by

4

Friday, July 22, 2016, so that all parties are on notice.

5

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff will file notice with the Court by

6

Monday, July 25, 2016 in which Plaintiff will clearly identify the specific periods of

7

time in which he believes he grieved on the video records. Specifically, Plaintiff must

8

note the exact time of the beginning and end of each alleged grievance, the date of each

9

alleged grievance, and the video record on which that alleged grievance may be located.

10

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED setting a hearing for Tuesday, August 2, 2016 at

11

1:30 p.m. to watch only those specific portions of the video records in which Plaintiff

12

purports to have orally filed an emergency grievance.

13

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defense counsel and Plaintiff shall attend the

14

hearing, which will be held at 401 W. Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona, Courtroom

15

503. The Court will make arrangements for Plaintiff to appear in person at this hearing.

16

Dated this 30th day of June, 2016.
