ORDER REFERRING CASE TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE. Plaintiffs are prisoners in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections. Represented by counsel, they bring this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated inmates, and have prepaid the $400 filing fee. Each of the named Plaintiffs is or has been incarcerated at Lawrence or Menard Correctional Center under conditions they describe as "extreme isolation." They allege that the conditions of their confinement in administrative segregation violate their Eighth Amendment rights, and that they have suffered a deprivation of a liberty interest without due process, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. They seek class action certification, and declaratory and injunctive relief. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the Court is required to conduct a prompt threshold review of the complaint. Accepting Plaintiffs' allegations as true, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have articulated a colorable federal cause of action against Defendant for violations of their constitutional rights. Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 72.1(a)(2), this action is REFERRED to United States Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Williams for further pre-trial proceedings. Further, this entire matter shall be REFERRED to United States Magistrate Judge Williams for disposition, pursuant to Local Rule 72.2(b)(2) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), if all parties consent to such a referral. Counsel for Plaintiffs may initiate service without further delay. Defendant is ORDERED to timely file an appropriate responsive pleading to the complaint and shall not waive filing a reply pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(g). Signed by Chief Judge Michael J. Reagan on 6/7/2016. (tjk)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 06/07/2016)
