TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed the dispositive motions filed by the Defendants, as well as the responses and replies. Resolution of the pending Motions may result in dismissal of some or all claims and may necessitate the filing of amended pleadings. This may lead to an extended delay in resolving this case; therefore, the Court finds that it is appropriate for the parties to participate in an early mediation. A vast array of litigation has been filed related to COVID-19 and corrections facilities across the country, with varying results. However, the Court notes that the Commonwealth of Virginia reached a settlement in a case similar to the one at bar, and directs the parties' attention to Whorley v. Northam, No. 3:20-cv-00255 (E.D.V.A. 2020). Given the complexity and the importance of the issues in this case, the Court appoints Hon. Shiva V. Hodges, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of South Carolina, as the mediator. Judge Hodges will contact the parties to schedule a mediation, which should occur within the next 30 days. Signed by Honorable Donald C Coggins, Jr on 5/25/2020. (prou, ) (Entered: 05/26/2020)

TEXT ORDER denying 52 Motion to Reconsider. The Court fully addressed Dr. Assa'ad-Faltas's arguments in its 34 Order denying her Motion to Intervene. Motions to reconsider are not "opportunities to rehash issues already ruled upon because a litigant is displeased with the result." R.E. Goodson Constr. Co., Inc. v. Int'l Paper Co., No. 4:02-4184-RBH, 2006 WL 1677136, at *1 (D.S.C. June 14, 2006) (citing Tran v. Tran, 166 F. Supp. 2d 793, 798 (S.D.N.Y. 2001)). Dr. Assa'ad-Faltas is free to raise her claims in any lawsuit she initiates, and it appears she has already filed a proposed class action lawsuit related to COVID-19 and short term detention facilities. See Assa'ad-Faltas v. McMaster, No. 3:20-cv-01809-TLW-SVH (D.S.C. May 8, 2020). The Court cautions Dr. Assa'ad-Faltas that any further filings will result in sanctions, as she is not a party to this litigation.

TEXT ORDER denying 68 Motion for Joinder. Proposed Intervenor Carnie Norris seeks to "be joined in as a plaintiff in this cause of action because he is similarly situated just as the other plaintiffs in this action." ECF No. 68 at 2. Norris contends that he is a 59-year-old African American with a heart condition, low pulse, an enlarged prostate, dizzy spells, and a prior stroke. Id. at 2-3. Additionally, Norris states that is scheduled for a total hip replacement which increases his risk for exposure to COVID-19. Id. at 3. Norris states that a South Carolina Circuit Court Judge granted his application for post-conviction relief and that the State of South Carolina has appealed that order. Id Norris doesn't "think that it is fair that [he] could possibly be exposed to COVID-19 when [he] could be released to home confinement or Appeal Bond." Id. Several Respondents filed a consolidated Response in Opposition to Norris's Motion. ECF No. 72 . After reviewing the filings and the relevant law, the Court finds that, even liberally construed, Norris's Motion must be denied. Norris filed his Motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19; however, as Respondents point out, a motion for joinder under Rule 19 is only a proper motion for a party to file. Therefore, the Court liberally construes the Motion as a motion to intervene. The Court thoroughly set forth the standards for intervention of right and permissive intervention in its previous Order denying Dr. Marie Assa'ad-Faltas's Motion to Intervene. See ECF No. 34 . Applying those standards to this Motion, the Court finds that any interest Norris has in this litigation is adequately represented by existing parties to the litigation and that permitting intervention would unduly delay and prejudice the adjudication of the original parties' rights. Specifically, it appears Norris is likely a member of Subclasses 1 and 2 as he is over the age of 50 years old, claims to have serious medical issues, and claims to no disciplinary problems in "almost 12 years." ECF No. 68 at 3. In light of the upcoming mediation in this case and the thorough briefing that has occurred, the Court specifically finds that intervention would unduly delay adjudication of this case. Accordingly, the 68 Motion for Joinder is DENIED. Signed by Honorable Donald C Coggins, Jr on 6/15/2020.(prou, ) (Entered: 06/15/2020)

TEXT ORDER denying 73 Motion for Joinder. Proposed Intervenor Bennie Griffin seeks to be joined in this case "as a petitioner because he is similarly situated just as the other petitioners in this cause of action." ECF No. 73 at 2. Griffin contends that he is a 61-year-old African American with high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, and diabetes. Id. at 4. Griffin contends that his case is currently pending in the Supreme Court of South Carolina, and claims that "[i]t is not fair or healthy that [he] could possibly be exposed to COVID-19 when [he] could be released to home confinement or Appeal Bond." Id. at 5. After reviewing the Motion and the relevant law, the Court finds that, even liberally construed, Griffin's Motion must be denied. Griffin filed his Motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19; however, a motion for joinder under Rule 19 is only a proper motion for a party to file. Therefore, the Court liberally construes the Motion as a motion to intervene. The Court thoroughly set forth the standards for intervention of right and permissive intervention in its previous Order denying Dr. Marie Assa'ad-Faltas's Motion to Intervene. See ECF No. 34 . Applying those standards to this Motion, the Court finds that any interest Griffin has in this litigation is adequately represented by existing parties to the litigation and that permitting intervention would unduly delay and prejudice the adjudication of the original parties' rights. Specifically, it appears Griffin is likely a member of Subclasses 1 and/or 2 as he is over the age of 50 years old, claims to have serious medical issues, and claims to no disciplinary problems in several years. ECF No. 73 at 5. In light of the upcoming mediation in this case and the thorough briefing that has occurred, the Court specifically finds that intervention would unduly delay adjudication of this case. Accordingly, the 73 Motion for Joinder is DENIED. Signed by Honorable Donald C Coggins, Jr on 6/15/2020.(prou, ) (Entered: 06/15/2020)

TEXT ORDER denying 81 Motion for Joinder. Proposed Intervenor Scotty Marice Brown seeks to be joined in this case because he has underlying health conditions which place him at risk for COVID-19 infection. Brown contends that he is a 43-year-old male who suffers from hypertension, extreme high blood pressure, diet deficiencies, and asthma. ECF No. 81 at 2. Brown requests that the Court order the South Carolina Department of Corrections to "show cause of why (sic) Mr. Brown should not be immediately released on furlough with/and (sic) home detention." Id.After reviewing the Motion and the relevant law, the Court finds that, even liberally construed, Brown's Motion must be denied. Brown filed his Motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19; however, a motion for joinder under Rule 19 is only a proper motion for a party to file. Therefore, the Court liberally construes the Motion as a motion to intervene. The Court thoroughly set forth the standards for intervention of right and permissive intervention in its previous Order denying Dr. Marie Assa'ad-Faltas's Motion to Intervene. See ECF No. 34 .

Specifically, it appears Brown is likely a member of Subclass 2 as he claims to have serious medical issues and no disciplinary sanctions. ECF No. 81 at 2. In light of the procedural posture of this case, the Court specifically finds that intervention would unduly delay adjudication of this case. Indeed, the amount of time the Court has spent addressing motions for joinder filed by inmates who are arguably members of at least one subclass of the Petition has already caused delay in addressing the merits of this case. Accordingly, the 81 Motion for Joinder is DENIED. Signed by Honorable Donald C Coggins, Jr on 6/24/20.(alew, ) (Entered: 06/24/2020)

TEXT ORDER denying 84 Motion for Joinder. Proposed Intervenor Leon R. Woodford seeks to be joined in this case because he is elderly and has significant underlying health issues. Woodford contends that he is a 71-year-old male who suffers from chronic hypertension, diet deficiencies, and allergies. ECF No. 84 at 3. Woodford is serving a sentence for murder and claims he is scheduled to appear before the Parole Board in March 2021. Id. Woodford requests that the Court order "the South Carolina Department of Corrections and the South Carolina Department of Parole, Pardons and Probation to show cause why Woodford should not be immediately released on parole." Id. at 6.After reviewing the Motion and the relevant law, the Court finds that, even liberally construed, Woodford's Motion must be denied. Woodford filed his Motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19; however, a motion for joinder under Rule 19 is only a proper motion for a party to file. Therefore, the Court liberally construes the Motion as a motion to intervene. The Court thoroughly set forth the standards for intervention of right and permissive intervention in its previous Order denying Dr. Marie Assa'ad-Faltas's Motion to Intervene. See ECF No. 34 .

Minute Entry. The Court held a status conference to discuss the status of the Petition. The Court will hold in abeyance any rulings on the pending 36, 38 Motions to Dismiss until at least Friday, July 10, 2020. The parties are directed to continue discussions about a resolution of the case, keeping in mind the legal issues raised by the Court in its remarks. The Court reminds the parties that it is likely at least some claims will remain viable in this case going forward; therefore, this case is ripe for a resolution that does not require a ruling on dispositive motions, amendments to the pleadings, and extensive discovery.
