Heading: Duran Consent Decree

Text: 27 Plaintiff argues in Civ. No. 88-0024 JB/SGB that the Duran Consent Decree was violated by the medical records officer's untimely transfer of plaintiff's medical records to Arizona. Facteau v. Sullivan, 843 F.2d 1318, 1319 (10th Cir.1988) held that federal § 1983 cases seeking equitable relief covered by the Duran Consent Decree are to be forwarded to the special master in Duran for consideration. Plaintiff asks for equitable relief in Civ. No. 88-0024 JB/SGB by requesting that the Court issue a show cause order. Civ. No. 89-1189 JP/WWD requests that the Court enter an order declaring that the defendants' acts are unconstitutional. The Court will refrain from exercising subject matter jurisdiction over these requests for equitable relief to the extent they seek relief covered by the Duran Consent Decree.
