ORDER

REYHER,
Defendant.

Pro se plaintiff Scott Brown has three cases pending in this court, all related to incidents
of self-harm at Columbia Correctional Institution (CCI). Brown was transferred to Jackson
Correctional Institution last October, but on March 5, 2019, Brown was transferred back to
CCI. Brown says that he is worried about his safety because staff at CCI will not protect him
from further self-harm. He has filed a proposed order for various injunctive relief, Dkt. 19 in

Case No. 18-cv-340 and Dkt. 7 in Case No. 18-cv-1046, and a declaration supporting the
order, Dkt. 20 in the ’340 case and Dkt. 8 in the ’1046 case. I will construe these documents
as a motion for preliminary injunction. Although Brown has not complied with this court’s
procedures for preliminary injunctions, I will construe his declaration as a set of proposed
findings.
Brown asks the court to schedule a hearing on March 12, 2019, but this will not give
defendants enough to time to prepare a response. I will give defendants until March 22, 2019,
to file a response to Brown’s motion. Brown will then have until March 29, 2019, to file a
reply. After I review the parties’ briefing, I will schedule a hearing if I conclude one is necessary.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that defendants’ brief in opposition to plaintiff Scott Brown’s motion
for preliminary injunction is due March 22, 2019. Brown’s reply is due March 29, 2019.
Entered March 8, 2019.
