Under 28 U.S.C. § 2284(b)(3), a single judge on a three-judge court “may conduct all

proceedings except the trial, and enter all orders permitted by the rules of civil procedure

except as provided in this subsection. He may grant a temporary restraining order on a

specific finding, based on evidence submitted, that specified irreparable damage will result if

the order is not granted, which order, unless previously revoked by the district judge, shall

remain in force only until the hearing and determination by the district court of three judges

of an application for a preliminary injunction. A single judge shall not appoint a master, or

order a reference, or hear and determine any application for a preliminary or permanent

injunction or motion to vacate such an injunction, or enter judgment on the merits. Any

action of a single judge may be reviewed by the full court at any time before final judgment.”

2. The Settlement Referee and Consultant’s request to make public the next draft of

the Referee’s proposal for settlement is hereby GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
