October 8, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 290 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: As explained herein, Defendant's motion to exclude the expert testimony Elizabeth Stanosheck as unreliable is denied with prejudice and his motion to exclude her testimony as Cumulative is denied without prejudice . In addition, we find that Plaintiffs have satisfied the class certification requirements of Rules 23(a) and 23(b)(2).

Plaintiffs' motion for class certification is granted with our modification to the class definition as stated in Section II(B) of our discussion. Finally, Defendant's motion for summary judgment is denied in part and granted in part. Summary Judgment is denied as to Counts I (ADA), II (Rehabilitation Act), III (RLUIPA), V (free exercise), and VIII (due process), and is granted as to Counts IV (free speech) and VII (equal protection). As for Count VI (cruel and unusual punishment), summary judgment is granted to the extent the claim is based on Plaintiffs' allegations that IDOC placed them in communicative isolation and failed to notify them of non-emergency events, and is denied as to Plaintiffs' allegations that IDOC failed to not ify them of emergency events and to provideadequate medical care. Accordingly, Counts IV and VII are dismissed, as are the aspects of Count VI related to communicative isolation and non-emergency notifications. The case will proceed as a class action on Counts I, II, III, V, VIII, and the remaining aspects of Count VI. Signed by the Honorable Marvin E. Aspen on 10/8/2015. Mailed notice. (mgh, )
