October 26, 2009 Opinion or Order Filing 530 OPINION & ORDER:# 98185 For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs' requests for additional relief are DENIED, and Defendants' motion to terminate the Heat Order is GRANTED, subject to review one year hence following the 2010 Heat Season. As the Defendants were not specifically required under my previous orders to monitor allegedly air-conditioned dormitories at 80F or less, I am constrained to look forward with respect to this unfortunate happenstance. Accordingly, OCC will not be required to submit a report on Defendants' compliance following the 2009 Heat Season, as originally discussed at the August 31, 2009 conference. Instead, OCC shall submit a report on, or if reasonable, before November 1,2010 as to Defendants' compl iance with all aspects of the newly clarified Heat Orders during the 2010 Heat Season. Any motion to reinstate the Heat Orders based on OCC's 2010 report shall be fully briefed by December 15, 2010. The Clerk of this Court is instructed to close this motion (Docket No. 520). (Signed by Judge Harold Baer on 10/26/2009) (jpo) Modified on 10/30/2009 (eef).
