CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 65-15556

TANGIPAHOA PARISH SCHOOL BOARD, ET AL.

SECTION "B"(1)

ORDER AND REASONS
Considering the “Court Compliance Officer’s Recommendation
for a Framework for use of Interim Staff Appointments” (Rec. Doc.
1548), and the fact that no objections have been filed,1
IT IS ORDERED that the Court Compliance Officer’s (CCO)
recommended framework (Rec. Doc. 1548) is ADOPTED. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 53(f). As envisioned by the Court’s Order and Reasons that
instructed the CCO to develop a framework for the use of interim
appointments,

interim appointments that are limited in duration, see Rec. Doc.
1548 at 3, ensures that the Board will provide notice when making
an interim appointment, see id. at 3-4, and provides for prompt
review by the CCO of any proposed interim appointments, see id.
at 4. Importantly, the framework also makes clear that interim
