Date Filed Document Text
March 29, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 39 ORDER (1) Granting In Part And Denying In Part Defendants' Motion To Dismiss Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint (Doc. 29 ); And (2) Denying Plaintiff's Motion For Order On Defendants Motion To Dismiss As Moot (Doc. 38 ): The Court does not have jurisdiction over the personnel at Goolsby's current prison and his request for injunctive relief is dismissed. Defendants' answer to the Second Amended Complaint must be filed no later than 4/23/2012. Signed by Magistrate Judge Ruben B. Brooks on 3/29/2012. (All non-registered users served via U.S. Mail Service.) (mdc)
May 23, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 23 ORDER Granting Defendants' Motion To Dismiss Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint (Re Doc. 13 ): This Order supercedes the Report and Recommendation issued on 5/10/2011 (Doc. 20 ). Defendant Wilson's Motion to Dismiss count two of the Amended Complaint for Plaintiff's failure to exhaust administrative remedies is granted without leave to amend. Goolsby's allegations against Wilson in count three are sua sponte dismissed without leave to amend. Defendants Ridge and Marti nez's Motion to Dismiss the Eighth Amendment charges against them in count one for failing to personally examine Goolsby and failing to prescribe the medications Plaintiff preferred is granted without leave to amend for failure to state a claim. Further, Ridge and Martinez's Motion to Dismiss these two claims based on qualified immunity is granted without leave to amend. Their Motion to Dismiss the claim alleging that Ridge and Martinez failed to ensure that Goolsby underwent the diagn ostic tests ordered by treating physicians at county jail is granted with leave to amend. Defendants' claim of qualified immunity for this claim is premature. Finally, Goolsby's request for injunctive relief is moot and is denied. Plaintiff is granted 45 days leave from the date this Order is filed in which to file a Second Amended Complaint which cures all the deficiencies of pleading the claim in count one against Drs. Ridge and Martinez that they failed to ensure that Goolsby underwent the diagnostic tests ordered by physicians at county jail as noted. Signed by Magistrate Judge Ruben B. Brooks on 5/23/2011. (All non-registered users served via U.S. Mail Service.) (mdc)
