He seeks preliminar y injunctive relief in the form of a referral to a different dentist. Defendant Dr. Jimerson has opposed the motion and has submitted Mr. Reaves's dental records. Mr. Reaves has replied. Reaves has demonstrated his entitlement to injunctive relief. Accordingly, Reaves's motion for an emergency injunction 25 is granted to the extent that Dr. Jimerson, or her designee with the authority to do so, shall refer Reaves to an outside dentist to examine and evaluate Reaves's tee th.
