WO MGD

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Greg Robbins,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Charles L. Ryan, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV 18-02343-PHX-MTL (DMF)

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendant Centurion of Arizona, LLC’s (“Centurion”) 

Motion for Clarification. (Doc. 125.) Centurion seeks clarification of the Court’s May 29, 

2020 Order, in which the Court granted summary judgment to Defendants Shinn and Pratt 

with respect to Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief and dismissed Shinn and Pratt with 

prejudice. (Doc. 124.) In its Motion for Clarification, Centurion seeks to clarify that the 

Court will also dismiss Centurion because Centurion was added as a Defendant only with 

respect to Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief. 

The Court will grant the Motion and will dismiss Centurion from this action.

I. Background

At screening, the Court determined that Plaintiff stated claims against former 

Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) Director Ryan and ADC’s Interim Division 

Director of Health Services Pratt in their official capacities for prospective injunctive relief; 

against Corizon Health Incorporated (the former medical provider for ADC prisoners); and 

against healthcare providers Dr. Elijah and Nurse Practitioners Bass and Ende. (Doc. 7.)

The Court later added Centurion, the current contracted medical provider for ADC 

prisoners, as a Defendant with respect to Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief only. (Doc. 

84.) The Court also substituted acting ADC Director Profiri for Ryan and then substituted 

current ADC Director Shinn for Profiri. (Docs. 84, 108.) On October 30, 2019, Defendants 

Bass, Elijah, Ende, and Profiri (now Shinn) filed their Motion for Summary Judgment. 

(Doc. 91.) On May 29, 2020, the Court granted summary judgment to Elijah, Bass, Pratt 

and Shinn and denied summary judgment to Ende and Corizon. (Doc. 124.)

II. Motion for Clarification 

In its Motion for Clarification, Centurion notes that it joined in Defendants’ Motion 

for Summary Judgment and Statement of Facts. (Doc. 125, citing Doc. 97.) The Court 

inadvertently failed to address Centurion’s joinder and now clarifies that because Centurion 

was added as a Defendant solely for purposes of Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief, 

and the Court has now determined that Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief is moot, the 

Court will grant summary judgment to Centurion and dismiss Centurion from this action. 

In light of the above, the Court will grant Centurion’s Motion for Clarification.

IT IS ORDERED:

(1) The reference to the Magistrate Judge is withdrawn as to Defendant 

Centurion’s Motion for Clarification (Doc. 125), and the Motion is granted.

(2) Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 91) is granted as to 

Defendant Centurion and Defendant Centurion is dismissed from this action with 

prejudice.

Dated this 3rd day of June, 2020.
