On February 27, 2007, summary judgment was denied as to Defendant Fernandez, but as of that time, Defendant Lough had not been served. Thereafter, Defendant Lough was served by the United States Marshal in Tulsa, Oklahoma and a motion to quash the subpoena or dismiss the complaint was denied by the Court. The Court then referred the case to the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program and a schedule for Defendant Lough's dispositive motions in this action was stayed until mediation proceedings were completed.
