IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 92-CV-870-JLK JESSE MONTEZ, et al. Plaintiffs, -vs.BILL RITTER, et al. Defendants. ______________________________________________________________________________ Claim Number 03-034 Category: III Claimant: William Gilmore, #64549 Address of Claimant: LCF, 49030 State Highway 71, Limon, CO 80826 ______________________________________________________________________________ FINAL ORDER OF SPECIAL MASTER ______________________________________________________________________________ THIS MATTER comes before the Special Master on his own motion. Claimant previously filed a claim pursuant to Article XXXII of the Remedial Plan. That claim was denied on September 25, 2005, as Claimant failed to establish that he was the victim of discrimination on or before August 27, 2003. Claimant filed a motion to reinstate his claim. He alleged that he had become disabled after August 27, 2003. The motion was denied by Judge Kane on February 12, 2010. Judge Kane ruled on March 23, 2010 that the Remedial Plan does not provide any basis for accepting claims from inmates who were not disabled or the victims of discrimination on or before August 27, 2003. A copy of that order will be provided to Claimant. The Special Masters will refer this matter to class counsel pursuant to McNeil v. Guthrie, 945 F.2d 1163 (10th Cir. 1991). Claimant does retain the right to file his own lawsuit with the Court. He may not pursue any claim for damages in this case. The Special Master has no discretion under Judge Kane's order and must dismiss the claim. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the claim of William Gilmore is dismissed in its entirety; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of the file maintained by the Special Masters will be provided to class counsel for such action as may be deemed appropriate; and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Claimant, Defendants and class counsel are advised that they may file an objection to this Order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 53(g)(2), but said objection must be filed with the Clerk of the United States District Court, 901 19th Street, Denver, CO 80294 on or before August 16, 2010.
