CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-6390

ORDER
AND NOW, this 27th day of April, 2016, after considering the motion for summary
judgment filed by the defendants (Doc. No. 117), the response to the motion filed by the plaintiff
(Doc. No. 169), and the record developed through summary judgment motion practice, and after
hearing argument from the parties, accordingly, and for the reasons set forth in the
accompanying memorandum opinion, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion (Doc. No. 117) is
GRANTED and judgment is ENTERED in favor of the defendants and against the plaintiff on
all remaining claims.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED as follows:
1.

The motion to quash filed by the defendants (Doc. No. 184) is DENIED;

2.

The motion to recuse filed by the plaintiff (Doc. No. 240) is DENIED. The part

of the motion that concerns a request for a continuance of a previously-set trial date is DENIED
AS MOOT;
3.

The motion for sanctions filed by the plaintiff (Doc. No. 248) is DENIED. The

part of the motion that concerns a request for free transcripts is DENIED AS MOOT as the
court has already granted the plaintiff’s request for free transcripts of all future proceedings, see
Order, Doc. No. 260;
4.

The amended motion to recuse filed by the plaintiff (Doc. No. 249) is DENIED.

The part of the motion that concerns a request for a continuance of a previously-set trial date is
DENIED AS MOOT;
5.

The renewed motion for a stay, renewed motion for free transcripts, renewed

motion for summary judgment ruling on submitted evidence, and motion for an extension of time
to obtain an attorney filed by the plaintiff (Doc. No. 257) is DENIED. The court has already
granted the plaintiff’s request for free transcripts of all future proceedings. The court also
unconditionally stayed this matter to provide the plaintiff with an opportunity to secure counsel,
see Order, Doc. No. 260;
6.

The second amended motion to recuse filed by the plaintiff (Doc. No. 266) is

DENIED; and
7.

The motion for service of process filed by the plaintiff (Doc. No. 274) is

DENIED AS MOOT.
