September 24, 2019 Filing 145 Minute Entry for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan: A Mediation was held on 9/24/2019. This mediation took place at SCI-Pine Grove in Indiana Pa. Attorney Timothy Holmes also participated in this mediation on behalf of Defendants. A tentative settlement agreement was reached; however, it is contingent on Plaintiff being removed from the Restricted Release List. This decision can only be made by the Secretary. The DOC will arrange for Plaintiff to meet with the Regional Deputy Secretary to set forth his position for removal from the RRL within 30 days. The process will take 60 to 90 days. If successful, the remainder of the settlement terms will be satisfied, and the case will be resolved. A telephone status conference is scheduled with J. Lenihan for December 16, 2019 at 2 PM to check on the status. The parties request that the case be administratively closed at this time. If the above is not successful, Plaintiff will move to reopen the case and the parties can either continue negotiations or set a trial date. (Court Reporter: none) (jmb)
