         v.                         Civil Action No. 88-3130

RONALD WILSON REAGAN, et al., 
               Defendants.

ORDER

The following memorializes the rulings made at the status conference held this date:

The plaintiffs' motion for-leave to file a second amended complaint is granted.

The federal government will accept service on the following defendants: Ronald Wilson Reagan; Director, Office of Management and Budget; United States Secret Service; Donald Hodel, Secretary, Interior Department. The government is unable to accept service on the following individuals until authorized to do such: Richard Robbins, Randy Myers, Manus J. Fish, James Lindsey, Sandra Alley, Captain Barrett, Lieutenant Hugh Irwin, Private Kevin Fornshill, Private Leslie Waite and Private Michelle Berkowitz. The government, however, has no objection, nor does the Court, should William Thomas or any of the other plaintiffs seek to effectuate service on the remaining federal defendants. It is the government's understanding that service has been made on Lynn Herring and Deputy Chief Langstrom. Arthur Burger, Assistant Corporation Counsel, has entered his

1

appearance for the District of Columbia, thereby accepting service for the District of Columbia. He is, however, at this time unable, without authorization, to accept service for Michael Canfield, Captain, Metropolitan Police Department.

All named plaintiffs will proceed in in forma pauperis. Mr. William Thomas will be the spokesperson for all plaintiffs in this case as to legal issues, reserving the right to each named plaintiff to speak, if he/she elects, on "personal principle." The plaintiff Mary Huddle, while signing some of the pleadings, has not signed all; it is possible, according to Mr. Thomas, that she may not be returning to this area. Accordingly, should Ms. Huddle fail to sign pleadings hereinafter filed by the plaintiffs, she will be dismissed from this case as a party plaintiff for failure to prosecute her action.

In order to expedite this matter, the Court has suggested, and the parties have agreed, that the plaintiffs' motions for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction be converted instead into a motion for permanent injunctive relief; the defendants are to file their oppositions to that motion and their dispositive motions on or before December 21, 1988; plaintiffs' oppositions thereto must be filed no later than January 3, 1989, and the defendants' replies, if any, shall be due on January 6.

2

A final hearing on these matters shall be held on January 9, 1989, at 9:00 a.m.: oral argument shall be limited to 1/2-hour per side.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

December 5, 1988
