ENTRY
The filings of Jeremiah Farmer [dkt 400] and of Nicholas Harwood [dkt 430] have been
considered. Mr. Farmer and Mr. Harwood’s requests for proceedings or investigation based on the
particular circumstances of their custody within the Indiana Department of Correction must be
DENIED.
Mr. Harwood advises that he will be released from New Castle prison on July 10, 2015 and
he asks the Court for assistance in receiving treatment for his serious mental illness and adjustment
back into the community. Unfortunately, this Court is unable to provide the assistance requested.
If Mr. Harwood’s executed sentence is followed by a term of probation, he should seek services
from the probation department or court from which his conviction and sentence was imposed. The
Court further encourages Mr. Harwood to seek mental health treatment and services within the
community to which he is released.
Mr. Farmer requests permission to file a belated appeal due to the Defendants violation of
court orders and requests appointment of counsel. Mr. Farmer appears to rely in part, on the
disposition in Mast v. Donahue, No. 2:05-cv-37 (S.D.Ind.). However, the Court finds there are no
issues in Mr. Farmer’s filings which warrant development or treatment separate from that of the
plaintiff class as a whole. If Mr. Farmer seeks relief outside the scope of the claims in this action
he must do so by filing a separate action in an appropriate forum.
For the reasons stated above, the filings of Mr. Farmer [dkt 400] and Mr. Harwood [dkt
430] are DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
