RE: Stay of Proceeding, Steedley v. Correctional Medical Services, et al.
To the Honorable Mary Pat Thynge:
On September 26m, 2007, the plaintiff, Russell Steedley, who is pro se in the
above caption was informed by Gail Eller RN, of CMS, that his request for an operation
to repair/replace his right hip was officially approved and that said medical procedure
should take place relatively soon and no later than a couple of months.
If and when this operation takes place, the plaintiff will be temporarily housed in
the prison’s infrmary. Subsequently, he will not have access to his legal work or be able
to attend law library appointment, which will effectively hamper his ability to litigate his
case in a timely matter. Therefore, the plaintiff respectfully requests a Stay of Proceeding
upon return from surgery when the operation does take place.
In no way does this request wave any of the plaintiff s rights and his allegations
found in his Complaint and TRO/PI. The Plaintiff only wishes this Stay to be in effect
between the time period during his surgical procedure and the immediate time period
following that operation used for convalescence in the prison’s infirmary. Once the
plaintiff is returned to his assigned housing unit, he will be given full access to the law
library and to his legal material. The defendants will in no way be prejudiced by a Stay of
Proceeding.
