UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO

DOUG AUSTIN, Plaintiff, vs. SHELL WAMBLE-FISHER and ASHLEY DOWELL, Defendants.

Case No. 1:12-cv-00479-BLW ORDER

This action began as a multi-plaintiff civil rights lawsuit, where eight inmates alleged that they suffered retaliatory termination from their volunteer positions in the Life Transitions Program (LTP) at the Idaho State Correctional Institution (ISCI), a prison program allowing inmates to aid ill inmates housed in the infirmary for long-term care, hospice care, and/or terminal medical conditions. The Court determined that each inmate should file a separate lawsuit so that the factual allegations of each inmate could be adequately reviewed by the Court, but that the parties would be permitted to pay a proportional share of the original filing fee. The present Amended Complaint (Dkt. 1) was filed by Plaintiff Doug Austin in response to the Order.
