December 6, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 89 Order - Denying in Part and Granting in Part 78 Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. For the foregoing reasons, the motion for partial summary judgment, dkt. 78 , is denied in part and granted in part. His claims that defendants Sergeants Gepha rt and Mullins failed to protect him from the assault by Mr. Brewer is dismissed. The claim that the defendants exercised deliberate indifference to his need for medical treatment, the claim that that Deputy McCreary failed to protect him from the assault, and the claim that McCreary, Gephart, and Mullins subjected him to unconstitutional conditions of confinement when he was left in a cell that was infested with cockroaches and not allowed to shower despite being covered with bodily waste remain. Mr. Pritt's motion for an extension of time, dkt. 88 , is denied as unnecessary. The Court will direct further proceedings, including a settlement conference and trial if necessary, through a separate order. If Mr. Pritt wants to ask the Court to recruit counsel to represent him, he should file a motion on the Court's form. The clerk shall include a form motion for assistance with recruiting counsel with his copy of this Order. (See Order.) Copy to Plaintiff via US Mail Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 12/6/2019.
