October 30, 2018 Filing 16 MOTION Entry of Judgment by Edmond Zagorski. (Henry, Kelley)
October 29, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: The matter is before the court on the plaintiff's Motion to Alter or Amend Order Dismissing Counts I and II of the Complaint and Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction. (Doc. 9.) The court finds that Count III presents at least the minimum chance of success on the merits to warrant injunctive relief in light of the plaintiff's interest, the public interest, and the fact that the relief requested will not prevent the state from carrying out the plaintiff's sentence as scheduled. The plaintiff has acknowledged that "[a]n order directing Defendants to provide telephone access cures the constitutional violation and will not result in a stay." (Doc. No. 11 at 7.) Accordingly, the plaintiff's request for a temporary restraining order is GRANTED in part, to the extent that the defendants and anyone acting on their behalf are hereby ENJOINED from proceeding with the plaintiff's execution unless his attorney-witness is provided with immediate access to a telephone during the time preceding and during the execution. In all other respects, the plaintiff's pending motion is DENIED. It is so ORDERED. Signed by District Judge Aleta A. Trauger on 10/29/18.
