March 31, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 329 OPINION AND ORDER re: 315 FINAL MOTION for Settlement Approval. filed by Dewayne Richardson, Tonja Fenton, Leroy Peoples. This Settlement Agreement represents a significant step toward improving the conditions of solitary confineme nt throughout New York State. Nonetheless, it could not and did not address every problem experienced by prisoners in general or in solitary confinement in particular. Further reforms are likely to follow, especially when the Attorney General, repre senting the people of New York, has demonstrated his strong commitment to improving the conditions of confinement for prisoners within the State's custody. This litigation, and the way it has been handled by all of the attorneys, is the best ex ample of the power of impact litigation to redress conditions that affect the most vulnerable members of our society. Another benefit of the successful resolution of this case is that it will undoubtedly inspire other members of the legal community to accept representation of individuals like Mr. Peoples, Mr. Richardson, and Ms. Fenton - who, with the help of outstanding counsel, were able to bring about the system-wide result that the Court approves today. For the foregoing reasons, the Joint Motion for Final Approval of Settlement is GRANTED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this motion (Dkt. No. 315). (As further set forth in this Order.) (Signed by Judge Shira A. Scheindlin on 3/31/2016) (kgo)
