CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:84-CV-313 (MTT)

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Motion to Attach for Contempt (Doc. 1028)
filed by Sharon D. Bush, a/k/a Sharon Bush Ellison.
This class-action case, filed by prisoners at various penal institutions in Georgia
in 1984, proceeded before now-retired Magistrate Judge Claude W. Hicks, Jr. Judge
Hicks terminated the case by an Order dated March 31, 1999 (Doc. 943). However,
there was still substantial activity in the case until final judgment was entered on
February 25, 2002 (Doc. 1013). Since the entry of final judgment, only a few motions
have been filed and denied, one of which was a motion for contempt filed by Ms. Bush,
the Movant in this matter. In any event, aside from the current motion, nothing has
been filed in this case since 2004.
Because final judgment has been entered and the case closed, the Court
DENIES the Motion (Doc. 1028). As Ms. Bush was instructed in this Court’s Order
dated May 9, 2003 (1016), in which the Court denied her previous Motion for Contempt,
if she wishes to proceed against any Defendant or against her attorney for violating any
of the orders entered in this case, she must file a new lawsuit.

SO ORDERED, this the 16th day of August, 2011.
/s/ Marc T. Treadwell
MARC T. TREADWELL, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
