The 2012 school board election continues a years-long fight by two warring parent factions.
2006: Three trustees backed by the Committee to Reform CUSD are elected to the school board. They become a minority voice on a school board divided 4-3.
2008: Two longtime incumbents are replaced in a June recall election by Reform Committee challengers, giving the movement a 5-2 majority. In November, two more Reform candidates win office, solidifying the Reform movement's hold on all seven seats.
2010: Three candidates backed by Capistrano Unified Children First – a group aligned closely with the district's teachers union – are elected. Two of them replace recalled Reform trustees; the third defeats an incumbent trustee. The balance of power shifts 5-2 in favor of the Children First movement, as two Reform trustees join the Children First voting bloc.
2012: Children First backs four candidates, including two incumbents, for the four open school board seats. A new group called Hold CUSD Accountable, an offshoot of the Reform movement, puts forth a slate of three challengers.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – After six years of bruising school board races dominated by two warring parent factions, Capistrano Unified is right back where it started.
Tuesday's election is shaping up to be another bitterly fought battle by the same two political groups, mainly over how to move the school district forward and keep it fiscally solvent amid unprecedented funding challenges. Capistrano is O.C.'s second-largest school district, with about 53,000 students.
Spending on the race, while not on pace to break 2010's record-setting tallies, already has hit $247,354, according to a Register analysis of campaign finance records.
The lion's share – about 41 cents of every dollar – has come from the district's teachers union, just as it did in 2010. An additional 16 cents of every dollar were spent by a group aligned closely with the union, Capistrano Unified Children First.
The teachers union, which reported spending $101,093 through Oct. 29, said voters want to know who teachers are supporting.
"The only thing money does is help get the word out to voters," said Vicki Soderberg, president of the Capistrano Unified Education Association. "Parents and communities look to teachers; they really feel teachers know best."
In 2010, spending by the district's two chief financial backers topped $374,000, with the union outpacing its chief rival by a 16 to 1 margin. Thousands more were spent by the candidates themselves.
"There's still a hell of a lot of money being spent, and it's the union by far that is spending the most," said parent Wayne Tate of Mission Viejo, head of the Hold CUSD Accountable group, which has endorsed a slate of candidates running against the union-backed candidates.
"Do I think the massive amount of money can have undue influence? Of course," Tate said. "They can inundate the public with whatever message they want, and it's up to the candidates to get out a counter message."
The district's teachers union has endorsed three candidates – incumbents John Alpay and Gary Pritchard, plus Amy Hanacek – and Children First is backing the same three candidates, plus Carol McCormick. The reported spending by the four candidates through Oct. 20 was a combined $31,972, or 13 cents of every dollar spent in the race.
Meanwhile, the Hold CUSD Accountable group – successor to the conservative, anti-union Committee to Reform CUSD – is backing candidates Jim Reardon, Steve Lang and William Perkins. Their combined spending through Oct. 20 was $44,864, or 18 cents of every dollar spent on the race, according to campaign finance reports.
The Hold CUSD Accountable group itself isn't a political action committee and reported no spending; the Reform Committee reported spending $2,990, about 1 cent of every dollar spent in the race.
"If anything, I'm surprised by the intensity of their continued involvement," said parent Fran Sdao of Mission Viejo, president of Children First. "They're harping on a lot of the same issues. What we've brought to the board are discussions at board meetings that are much, much, much more focused on education and instruction and positive outcomes. We're hoping that continues."
Philosophical contrasts on display
What's different about the Nov. 6 election is that, for the first time, Capistrano's 220,000 registered voters have seen the governing philosophies and ideologies of each side – from the dais itself.

Cicero, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tully(noun)
a Roman statesman and orator remembered for his mastery of Latin prose (106-43 BC)
The Roman statesman and orator Mu0101rcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC).
A European unit of measure, equivalent to 12 Didot points, or about 4.52u00A0mm or 0.178u00A0in.
Origin: Cicero, a cognomen in reference to warts (cicer = chickpea)
Webster Dictionary
pica type; -- so called by French printers
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman philosopher, statesman, lawyer, orator, political theorist, consul and constitutionalist. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the equestrian order, and is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. His influence on the Latin language was so immense that the subsequent history of prose in not only Latin but European languages up to the 19th century was said to be either a reaction against or a return to his style. According to Michael Grant, "the influence of Cicero upon the history of European literature and ideas greatly exceeds that of any other prose writer in any language." Cicero introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary distinguishing himself as a linguist, translator, and philosopher. Petrarch's rediscovery of Cicero's letters is often credited for initiating the 14th-century Renaissance. According to Polish historian Tadeusz Zieliński, "Renaissance was above all things a revival of Cicero, and only after him and through him of the rest of Classical antiquity." The peak of Cicero's authority and prestige came during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, and his impact on leading Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, David Hume, and Montesquieu was substantial. His works rank among the most influential in European culture, and today still constitute one of the most important bodies of primary material for the writing and revision of Roman history, especially the last days of the Roman Republic.

The flake is broadly rectangular in plan with a curved profile and irregular rectangular section. Around the edge of the core fragment are areas showing multiple blade removals in at least two different directions. On the ventral face a clear platform of percussion and conchoidal ripples are present. The flint is a dark brown grey colour with few flaws in the matrix; this type of flint is relatively uncommon in assemblages as it is of a better quality - probably not derived locally from riverine sources.

The director of Mesa Community College's business institute falsified pay records and told her employees to resist releasing and even to destroy records, according to information made public Friday by college district officials.
Rufus Glasper, chancellor of the Maricopa County Community College District, is recommending that the governing board fire Pinny Sheoran, head of the Business and Industry Institute.
In December, after news reports raised questions about Sheoran's management, Glasper placed her on paid leave and called for an investigation into the institute. Chris Chesrown, a district spokeswoman, said college officials would not comment on Sheoran or any ongoing inquiry.
In a statement provided by her attorney, Kraig Manton, Sheoran said she intends to vigorously defend her employment and fully fight any attempt to terminate her.
In response to a Tribune records request for the district's statement of charges against Sheoran, Glasper's office released its grounds for firing her. They are:
• Sheoran allegedly instructed her employees "to both destroy official records and refuse to comply with a request for public records."
• She allegedly told employees to falsify their time cards and misused Special Service Contracts, which are used to pay employees for extra work, by including information that might have been false.
In the coming weeks, the institute director will get a hearing before three district faculty members, who will then issue their own recommendation to the governing board.
Manton said he will request the hearing be kept private. "We do not intend to try this in the press," he said.
If Sheoran is fired, she would be the third executive that Glasper has removed this year as a fraud scandal has enveloped the nation's largest community college system.
Last month the chancellor ousted two college presidents, Larry Christiansen of MCC and Homero Lopez of Estrella Mountain College in Avondale.
Sheoran, Christiansen and Lopez are targets in the Maricopa County Sheriff's investigation of criminal fraud throughout the district, court records show.
The Tribune detailed the fraud cases in an October series that documented how college officials routinely transferred troublesome employees or allowed them to resign without consequence. When criminal activity surfaced, officials did not notify law enforcement.
Sheoran's case is not the first in which side contracts have posed problems for the district. At Scottsdale Community College, a music professor received cash for years for work he never did, including more than $20,000 to direct operas that were never performed.
In February, the governing board approved a raft of reforms aimed at increasing oversight to prevent future fraud. Among them was an overhaul of side contracts, which added a provision requiring employees to prove they have completed the work they are paid for.

Media News
Mumbai, November 6, 2012
STAR India, the nation's No. 1 Entertainment Network, takes brand STAR beyond television through its association with 'Smaaash Inspired by
Star'. Smaaash is a sports-based entertainment centre with cricket at its core and stands for active entertainment. It is a fully immersive and an addictive experience, which will provide the audiences an opportunity to play cricket LIVE. The centre is promoted by Shripal Morakhia, the erstwhile promoter of SSKI & Share Khan. Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar is also associated with this unique venture.
"Star has always stood for thought leadership and with 'Smaaash - Inspired by Star' we take brand Star beyond television to create an immersive entertainment experience for audiences." Uday Shankar, CEO of STAR India, said.
Star is proud to be associated with "Smaaash" which is the largest aspirational, immersive, recreational destination in India. The centre, spread over 24,000 sq. ft. at Kamla Mills Compound, Lower Parel, is in line with Star's promise of inspiring and entertaining audiences and will help bring this promise alive in a LIVE environment. Smaaash Centre has 8 cricket lanes, an F&B arena and other arcade games including a F1 simulator, FPS simulator etc. The Smaaash cricket lanes enable LIVE cricket play using the Hawk-Eye & Bola technology. Sachin Tendulkar's involvement has been very active in this concept during the initial testing as well as in designing the overall experience.
STAR, whose acquisition of ESS' sports broadcast businesses is now virtually imminent, will provide international quality cricket experience to sport buffs through the centre. Smaaash promises to bring an international quality cricket experience, where the players can face off against top cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Brett Lee, Anil Kumble and many others in a simulated environment.

Re-branding IPS as an anti botnet tool
October 24th, 2006 by SecuriTeam, Filed under: Botnets, Networking
i have seen a pr last month from mcafee on this issue, and now they issued another one.
for most cases, i don't believe in ids products.
i think that trying to pitch i[dp]s as a solution for botnets is technologically silly, but marketing-wise right on the spot. as the solution it is plain and simple silly.
a lot of security vendors will now start taking that approach, dealing with the buzzword.
an ips will not cure your botnet problems. it may help pinpoint some bots (or similar) on your network, which is important, but that's about it.
i wish mcafee all the luck in the world, but this is, in my opinion, way
way way over-hyped:
in another pr they present a case study on how they saved a south american
country from a botnet attack using their ips. i would like to see
more.. or something, to back it up as to how, before i state my opinion.
what do you think?

Part 1
Part 2
In my adventure The Horrendous Heap of Sixteen Cities there are 17 monsters with an average Hit Die of about 3. The standard deviation is also about 3. It's pretty big becuase I have a couple of outliers; the Garbage Golum and Great Heap Worm. So, using my new system, this module is a:
Low Level Adventure for Character Levels 0-6It makes sense that this adventure would have a wider range of character levels becuase of the exceptionally large monsters. Spreadsheets makes this sort of thinking easy. In fact, a monster spreadsheet is a very handy tool for GMs. Because you can quickly sort monsters by a variety of factors, not only does it give you a good idea of the relative difficulty, but it helps plan encounters and create logical environments. Don't let "logical" scare you, I'm not necesarily talking about biology, but gaming mechanics.
For example, if you expect your players to run around at night you can sort the monsters (see picture above) by their activity classificiation (diurnal, noctural, cathederal, etc) to see if there is enough variety and/or liklihood that they encounter the monsters you want them to.
You can also create images on the fly to think about your games in new ways. For example, I can plot HD as a bar graph (see above) and see something very interesting about my adventure: It's either going to be relatively easy or very difficult without much middle ground.
Compare that Heap data to my data from my upcoming adventure, Menagerie of the Snow Lord, which offers a far gentler slope of difficulty reflected in the subtitle:
A Low-Level Fantasy Adventure for Character Levels 1-5

This last point further weakens my damage naming algorithm, but I'm still sticking with it, to paraphrase Starship Troopers, until I find something that does the job beter.
Also, I can use this graph to see what monsters are really nasty, as opposed to simply high HD monsters. If I see a single monster (a number on the x-axis) with corresponding spikes in many factors, I know they're going to be really tough. Inversely, if I see a monster with a high HD, but inverted spikes for the other categories, I know it's more of a bluffing monster. That is, it looks harder to defeat than it really is.

foursquare For BlackBerry Gets A Step Up
foursquare is the latest app/game for BlackBerry that if you have a Facebook or Twitter, you've had to wonder what it is if you don't already have it. foursquare updated to v1.0.12. This new update brings the option of adding friends by Twitter, email, and phone numbers.
I'm barely learning how to play and I've been trying to remember to check in. It reminds me of Monopoly, a treasure hunt, and loopt all in one. You have the chance to unlock badges, become mayor of certain places, and see where your friends are. There's also certain places and vendors that also participate. It's another social networking app that makes it fun. The more friends you have and more places you go, the more fun it can be.
If you're interested in foursquare, you should check it out, especially since it's free!
I'm going to do a little more on foursquare later when I get a little more acquainted with it, but I'd like to know if you have it and what you think of it so far, or why you're not interested or curious if you haven't tried it yet. Do you dare to foursquare?

· January 19 and 20 – in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
· March 19 – Washington State Parks birthday
· April 19 – A spring Saturday "free day"

Filing 65
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS re 52 Motion for Miscellaneous Relief, 60 Motion for Contempt, 53 Motion for Contempt, 54 Motion to Compel, 38 Motion for Preliminary Injunction, 55 Motion for Contempt, 58 Motion for Contempt, recommending that the motions be denied. Follow up on Objections to R&R on 11/5/2007. Signed by Judge James R. Muirhead. (mxm)
Wolff v. NH Department of Corrections et al Doc. 65 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 1 of 18 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Charles Jay Wolff v. New Hampshire Department of Corrections, et al. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Civil No. 06-cv-321-PB Before the Court is Charles Wolff's motion for emergency injunctive relief (document no. 38). held before me on August 1, 2007. A hearing on the motion was On August 2, 2007, prior to making any ruling regarding injunctive relief, I directed the defendants to provide the Court with notification of: (1) what actions the prison would take to evaluate Wolff's medical condition and claims that he cannot tolerate the food provided to him, and (2) the remedy the prison would employ to provide Wolff with a diet that is religiously and medically appropriate, if it was determined that he could not tolerate the meals being provided to him (document no. 49). The defendants promptly Plaintiff has requested responded to my Order (document no. 50). that the hearing on his motion for injunctive relief be reconvened so that he might introduce evidence in response to the Dockets.Justia.com Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 2 of 18 defendants' written response to that Order (document no. 52). Wolff has also filed several motions seeking to have the Court hold the prison kitchen supervisor in contempt (document nos. 5355, 58, 60 & 62). The defendants object to the plaintiff's I address herein the motion for motions (document no. 59). preliminary injunctive relief and the subsequently filed pleadings pending before the Court. Standard of Review Preliminary injunctive relief is available to protect the moving party from irreparable harm, so that he may obtain a meaningful resolution of the dispute after full adjudication of the underlying action. See Jean v. Mass. State Police, No. 06Such a situation 1775, 2007 WL 1793126, *2 (1st Cir. 2007). arises when some harm from the challenged conduct could not be adequately redressed with traditional legal or equitable remedies following a trial. See Ross-Simons of Warwick, Inc. v. Baccarat, Inc., 102 F.3d 12, 18 (1st Cir. 1996) (finding irreparable harm where legal remedies are inadequate); see also Acierno v. New Castle County, 40 F.3d 645, 653 (3d Cir. 1994) (explaining irreparable harm and its effect on the contours of preliminary 2 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 3 of 18 injunctive relief). Absent irreparable harm, there is no need for a preliminary injunction. The need to prevent irreparable harm, however, exists only to enable the court to render a meaningful disposition on the underlying dispute. See CMM Cable Rep., Inc. v. Ocean Coast Props., 48 F.3d 618, 620-21 (1st Cir. 1995) (explaining the purpose of enjoining certain conduct as being to "preserve the `status quo' . . . to permit the trial court, upon full adjudication of the case's merits, more effectively to remedy discerned wrongs."); see also Stenberg v. Cheker Oil Co., 573 F.2d 921, 925 (6th Cir. 1978) ("The purpose of a preliminary injunction is always to prevent irreparable injury so as to preserve the court's ability to render a meaningful decision on the merits."). A preliminary injunction cannot issue unless the moving party satisfies four factors which establish its need for such relief. See Esso Std. Oil Co. v. Monroig-Zavas, 445 F.3d 13, 17- 18 (1st Cir. 2006) (discussing the requisite showing to obtain a preliminary injunction); see also Ross-Simons, 102 F.3d at 18-19 (explaining the burden of proof for a preliminary injunction). Those factors are: "(1) the likelihood of success on the merits; 3 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 4 of 18 (2) the potential for irreparable harm [to the movant] if the injunction is denied; (3) the balance of relevant impositions, i.e., the hardship to the nonmovant if enjoined as contrasted with the hardship to the movant if no injunction issues; and (4) the effect (if any) of the court's ruling on the public interest." Esso Std. Oil, 445 F.3d at 18. If the plaintiff is not able to show a likelihood of success on the merits, the remaining factors "become matters of idle curiosity," insufficient to carry the weight of this extraordinary relief on their own. See id. (the "sine qua non of the four-part inquiry Yet, "the predicted is likelihood of success on the merits"). harm and the likelihood of success on the merits must be juxtaposed and weighed in tandem." Ross-Simons, 102 F.3d at 19. Background Charles Wolff testified at the hearing that he is an orthodox jew who requires a kosher diet. The prison has been providing him, he says, with a kosher diet made up largely of prepackaged "shelf stable" kosher meals. According to Rick Stacy, the prison kitchen supervisor who testified at the hearing, the prepackaged meals maximize the integrity of the kosher food, because they can be steamed in the package and 4 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 5 of 18 served sealed to inmates, which allows for the separation of kosher food from nonkosher food and appliances in the prison's kitchen. Wolff claims that he has refused to eat the shelf stable prepackaged meals, however, because he cannot physically tolerate them. Wolff testified that he suffers from extreme abdominal cramps and severe diarrhea every time he eats the kosher meals. Wolff further testified that the diet he is provided at the prison fails to meet his medical needs. Specifically, he testified to being denied adequate snacks to maintain his blood sugar level although he is diabetic, and to being provided with food high in fat, although he has high cholesterol and coronary artery disease. Wolff's other area of concern is that he is receiving inadequate pain medication. Wolff wants the Court to direct the prison medical staff to provide him with more ibuprofen and with Mylanta. Wolff testified that he needs a certain amount of ibuprofen and Mylanta to control his pain and stomach upset, but that his treating physician at the prison disagrees with him, and is therefore providing Wolff with ibuprofen at a lower dose. Wolff trestified that the pharmacy was unable to provide him with 5 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 6 of 18 Mylanta but that he does receive other medications for various gastrointestinal ailments. Finally, Wolff testified that he has a prescription for nitroglycerine, which is prescribed for him to take in the event that he feels symptoms of an impending heart attack. Wolff claims that his nitroglycerine has been taken from him by corrections officers for up to three and a half hours at a time when he has been placed into punitive segregation. Wolff did not testify that he had actually been harmed by this action, but expressed concern that the practice of taking his access to nitrogylcerine away for even a few hours endangers his life. Stacy explained at the hearing that when an inmate is designated to have a kosher meal, the prison kitchen provides him with that meal. If an inmate refuses the shelf stable entree, he can still get the rest of his meal, but does not get an alternative entree. Stacy testified, however, that if an inmate has a medical pass that indicates he cannot tolerate certain foods, a religiously acceptable substitution of approximately the same nutritional value is made. Stacy testified that an inmate presenting a food tolerance issue to kitchen staff would be referred to health services to obtain an appropriate medical pass 6 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 7 of 18 as kitchen workers are not authorized or qualified to make medical decisions. Wolff further complains that the inadequacies in his diet caused him to lose a dangerous amount of weight. Joyce Leeka, the Administrator of Health Information Management for the prison, testified that according to Wolff's medical records, he began his incarceration in 1996 at 144 pounds. Leeka testified that in 2000, he weighed 176� pounds at his annual physical, and that he began gaining weight, reaching a high weight of 183 pounds in 2005.1 Leeka testified that once his diet was controlled in order to treat his diabetes, Wolff's weight returned to the 140s. At his last weight check prior to the August hearing, Wolff weighed 148 pounds. Additionally, Wolff expressed dissatisfaction with the amount of ibuprofen the doctors prescribed for him, and with the refusal of the pharmacy to provide him with Mylanta. Joyce Leeka testified, however, that while Wolff may have disagreed with some of the medical decisions made in his case, and therefore may not have received his preferred medications or dosages, that he was provided with a great deal of medical care, and at least fourteen Wolff claims that he has weighed as much as 230 pounds during his incarceration. 7 1 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 8 of 18 medications2 to treat a myriad of conditions and complaints.3 Leeka indicated that Wolff's medical records indicate that Mylanta has never been prescribed for him at the prison. The evidence also showed that there are medications that Wolff has refused to take, or has discontinued voluntarily, such as medication to treat his bipolar disorder. Leeka also testified that Wolff has been seen frequently by the medical personnel at the prison -- at least once a month and often more than that -and referred to outside specialists or hospitals as necessary.4 After the August 1 hearing, I directed the prison to evaluate Wolff to determine whether or not he is able to tolerate At the time of the hearing, Wolff was being routinely provided with, among other things, ibuprofen for pain, immodium as needed for diarrhea, aspirin for his heart condition, two statin drugs for his coronary artery disease and to lower his cholesterol, Lipitor, another cholesterol-lowering drug, Prilosec to treat gastrointestinal ailments, and a multivitamin. Leeka testified that Wolff's prison diagnoses have included high blood pressure, post-traumatic stress disorder, type II diabetes (non-insulin dependent), extremely high cholesterol, peripheral neuropathy, memory loss, Cushing's syndrome, metabolic syndrome, adrenal gland disease, coronary artery disease, bipolar disease, gastrointestinal ailments, and prostate cancer. During his incarceration, Wolff has been treated medically and surgically at outside hospitals and by outside specialists for, among other things, prostate cancer, the removal of his adrenal gland, as well as for his coronary artery disease, which has required placement of two arterial stints. 8 4 3 2 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 9 of 18 the kosher meals being provided to him. Defendants immediately responded with notice to this Court of a comprehensive plan to have Wolff monitored and evaluated to determine what, if any, adverse impact the diet he was receiving had on his health. Further, the defendants arranged a consultation with an outside nutritionist, and obtained a commitment from the prison's medical director, Dr. Robert McLeod, to provide Wolff with whatever diet was necessary to insure that his nutritional, medical, and spiritual needs were being met. Defendants' counsel is to be commended for his quick, thorough, and professional response to my order. To implement this Court's directive, the prison placed Wolff in the prison's Health Services Center, in an isolation unit, for a period of seven days. During that time, everything that Wolff The food he received was recorded, During the ate and drank was monitored. and the food that remained after he ate was recorded. week in isolation, Wolff ate the prepackaged shelf stable Kosher meals on four occasions, and refused to eat the rest of the Kosher meals offered to him. On two occasions, when Wolff ate a He also complained Kosher meal, he complained of some cramping. of having diarrhea on a number of instances, but medical staff at 9 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 10 of 18 the prison examined all of his bowel movements and determined that, aside from one occasion when a "scant" amount of loose stool was detected, all of Wolff's bowel movements during the week were firm, and were not affected by eating the prepackaged Kosher meals. To address his assertion that he is losing dangerous amounts of weight, Wolff's weight was monitored daily during his sevenday stay in the Health Services Center. two pounds during his that week. Wolff did lose more than It appears, however, that he was provided with a reasonable amount of food, and that he refused much of the food he was offered. Further, there is no evidence before the Court that his weight has dropped to a dangerous level. Discussion As previously stated, in order to prevail on his motion for preliminary injunction, Wolff must demonstrate: (1) that he is likely to succeed on the merits of the claims underlying his action, (2) that he will suffer from irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted, (3) that the imposition on defendants if the motion is granted is outweighed by the necessity of the injunction, and (4) that the issuance of an injunction would not 10 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 11 of 18 unreasonably impact the public interest in this matter. Std. Oil, 445 F.3d at 17-18. See Esso The essential questions before me for consideration are whether or not Wolff will succeed on his underlying cause, and whether, upon succeeding, Wolff will be able to have meaningful redress for his injuries if no injunction issues. See CMM Cable, 48 F.3d at 620-21. In his underlying action, Wolff primarily complains that he has been denied a kosher diet consistent with his faith. preliminary matter, I find that Wolff concedes that he is currently receiving a kosher diet consistent with his faith. Plaintiff did not introduce evidence at the hearing regarding any claims that he may have arising out of previous denials of a kosher diet. To the extent that he alleges that he may, at some As a time during his incarceration, have been denied a kosher diet as a sanction for eating non-kosher foods, however, I will allow, as I did in my initial review of Wolff's complaint, that he may have stated a viable claim and will assume, without deciding, that he has stated sufficient facts, although he did not present additional evidence at the hearing on his likelihood of success, to enable me to find that he may succeed on the merits of his underlying claim. The focus of the hearing was on the harm Wolff 11 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 12 of 18 alleges from ongoing actions of the defendants in denying him a nutritionally and medically adequate diet. The evidence presented at the hearing, and submitted to the Court after the hearing, demonstrates that the prison has taken great pains to insure that Wolff is provided with a diet that meets the requirements of his religious faith, that is nutritionally adequate, and that meets his medical needs. fact that Wolff is prescribed a multivitamin, that he is frequently seen by physicians and other medical personnel, that he is provided with regular medication, and that his test results demonstrate that his diet is doing him no harm medically, clearly show that Wolff is not likely to suffer from irreparable harm if he is not provided with the frozen prepackaged kosher meals that he prefers to the shelf stable prepackaged meals that he is presently receiving. While it is clear that Wolff does not want The to eat the shelf stable meals, he has not presented evidence that counters the weight of the medical evidence showing that his body is not reacting adversely to the foods provided, or otherwise demonstrated that his nutritional and medical needs are not being met. 12 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 13 of 18 Further, the prison has taken the added step of referring Wolff to an outside nutritionist to determine the advisability of the foods with which he is presently provided. Additionally, the prison has indicated its willingness to be responsive to Wolff's nutritional needs as they are made aware of such needs. The evidence at the hearing demonstrated that much of the food Wolff claims is denied to him and causing him to lose weight is actually food that he has been offered and refused, not food that is being withheld from him by the defendants. While it is entirely understandable that Wolff would like to be provided with food that is appetizing to him as well as nutritious, a diet is not unconstitutionally inadequate because it does not taste good. The evidence before me, considered as a whole, indicates that what the defendants have provided suffices to meet Wolff's religious, nutritional and medical needs, even if it is unappealing to him. Accordingly, I cannot find that Wolff has demonstrated any indication that his diet will cause him irreparable harm. Wolff's claim that he is not being provided with adequate pain medication fares no better. The prison demonstrated that Wolff is being provided with a substantial amount of medical 13 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 14 of 18 care, and that all of his medical concerns, including gastrointestinal ailments and pain, are currently being actively treated by prison medical staff. As is the case with the prepackaged meals, Wolff is not being provided with the medication regimen that he prefers. This, however, does not suffice to demonstrate that he will be irreparably harmed by the medical treatment he is receiving. Accordingly, I find that Wolff has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating irreparable harm if his injunction is not granted and I recommend that the motion for a preliminary injunction be denied. Motions for Contempt In motions filed since the August hearing (document nos. 5355, 58, 60 & 62), Wolff seeks a finding of contempt against prison kitchen supervisor Stacy for serving Wolff eggs and an order from this Court directing the prison kitchen staff, under Stacy's direction, to provide Wolff with donuts and danish for breakfast in lieu of eggs. Wolff further seeks a Court order prohibiting inmate kitchen worker James Keach from having any contact with Wolff's kosher food, prohibiting the prison from serving him eggs, and directing that he be fed in his cell so as to avoid contact with the kitchen staff. 14 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 15 of 18 Defendants object to Wolff's attempts to obtain contempt rulings. Defendants assert that they have not, to date, been subject to any order of this Court restricting any specific foods from Wolff's diet. Further, defendants argue that despite extensive attention from medical professionals and a dietician, there is no indication that Wolff has an allergy to eggs or that his medical condition precludes him from eating hard-boiled eggs.5 Accordingly, defendants argue that there is no reason for Further, this Court to order that Wolff not be served eggs. because no such orders are currently in place, plaintiff's motions for contempt should be denied. Wolff, in response to defendants' objection to his previously filed motions for contempt, argues that an "agreement" entered into between this Court and Rick Stacy had the force of a court order, and that Stacy is therefore in violation of that order each time Wolff is served an egg by the kitchen staff. At the preliminary injunction hearing, I opined that if Wolff's cholesterol was very high, that it would likely be Because Wolff has high cholesterol that is controlled by medication, the defendants concede that egg yolks are probably not the wisest food choice for him. However, defendants assert, nothing in Wolff's medical history is complicated by the ingestion of egg whites, and the yolks of hard-boiled eggs are easily set aside. 15 5 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 16 of 18 inappropriate to serve him eggs as part of a medically responsible diet. At that hearing, Stacy did say that, if that The were the case, something else could be substituted for eggs. evidence before the Court at this time, however, is that Wolff's cholesterol is very well-controlled with medication and that his diet, although possibly unappealing to Wolff, is not having an adverse impact on his cholesterol level. Further, the evidence in this case is clear that defendants sent Wolff for a consultation with an outside nutritionist and agreed to provide him with whatever diet was medically indicated for him. This Court did not order Stacy or anyone else at the prison not to serve Wolff any specific foods. I understood and accepted Stacy's testimony at the hearing, as an expression of his willingness to substitute foods, if necessary, to create a nutritionally and medically sound Kosher diet to Wolff if such a substitution was necessary. This Court is not a medical professional and I certainly had no intention of making a diagnosis in Wolff's case when I stated at the hearing that a daily serving of three eggs was generally considered to be contraindicated for those individuals who suffer from high cholesterol; in the same vein, my statements to Mr. Stacy were 16 Case 1:06-cv-00321-PB Document 65 Filed 10/17/2007 Page 17 of 18 not an order to him to discontinue the service of eggs without any professional medical opinion stating that such a discontinuation was advisable. My order, instead, was that the prison should evaluate Wolff's tolerance to his diet and create and implement a plan to make necessary changes if the diet was not sound (document no. 49). Because there was no existing order to be violated, I find that there was no contempt of court. Accordingly, the motions for contempt and to reconvene the hearing (document nos. 52, 54, 55, 58, 60 & 62) are denied. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, I recommend that the requested preliminary injunctive relief, as well as the contempt motions filed by plaintiff, be denied. Any objections to this report and recommendation must be filed within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice. Failure to file objections within the specified See time waives the right to appeal the district court's order. Unauthorized Practice of Law Comm. v.
