Defendant.

NO. 3:16-cv-02631

CHIEF JUDGE CRENSHAW
MAGISTRATE JUDGE BROWN

ORDER
The Warden who is the Defendant in this matter has filed a Notice that the Institution is
willing to accept the four boxes of the Plaintiff’s files from his former Counsel, Ms. Smith at the
prison’s transportation hub in Nashville. They advise an officer will meet Ms. Smith there.
Because of security, the boxes will be inspected in the presence of Ms. Smith and upon acceptance
by the Department and the boxes again will be inspected in the presence of the Plaintiff once they
arrive at the facility where he is confined.
It is reasonable for the institution to inspect material delivered to the Plaintiff for
contraband and this procedure is approved by the Court. It is strongly suggested Ms. Smith prepare
an inventory or photographing record of the contents of the boxes and following the inspection at
the transportation hub the boxes should be sealed and the seals broken in the presence of the
Plaintiff when they are delivered to the institution where he is confined.
SO ORDERED.
