ORDER

Case No. 4:14-cv-018

Plaintiff, Isaac T.L. Gould, Sr. (“Gould”), is a pretrial detainee at the Williams County
Correctional Center (“WCCC”). On October 2, 2014, he filed a document captioned an “Amended
Complaint & Brief” which he requested: (1) leave to join an additional defendant who he asserts is
acting in concert with Defendants Scott Bushing and Royce Crones: (2) a temporary restraining
order; and (3) a preliminary injunction.
Although styled a “Amended Complaint & Brief,” the court construes the document filed
by Gould on October 2, 2014, as a combined motion requesting leave to file an amended complaint
to join an additional party, request for a temporary restraining order, and request for a preliminary
injunction.
As Gould is seeking a preliminary injunction and has provided notice to defendants, his
request for a temporary restraining order is deemed moot. Defendants shall have until October 20,
2014, to file a response to Gould’s requests to amend his complaint and request for preliminary
injunction.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 6th day of October, 2014.
/s/ Charles S. Miller, Jr.

United States District Court
