ORDER - The Court OVERRULES IN PART and SUSTAINS IN PART Plaintiffs' Objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, 430 , Defendants Jeff Vantlin, Jack Spencer, William Arbaugh, and Jason Pagett's Objection to Report and Recommendation Regarding Claims Remaining for Trial, 429 , and KSP Defendants' Wise and Jones' Objection to Report and Recommendation Regarding Claims Remaining for Trial, 428 . The Court notes that significant time has been spent sif ting through the parties' arguments regarding the proper labels to give to Plaintiffs' claims. Because the substantive focus of these claims, rather than the specific constitutional amendments they fall under, are what is important and what will be relevant for the jury at trial, the Court simplifies the labels of Plaintiffs' claims below. The Court has endeavored to parse out the relevant time periods and claimed injuries into separate claims, and will also work with the parties to craft jury instructions and verdict forms which ensure against the possibility of multiple recoveries for the same injuries.
