Notice of Judge Assignment. Judge David R. Herndon assigned. All future documents must bear case number 18-156-DRH. (dmw2) (Entered: 02/01/2018)

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. ยง 1983, on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated inmates, and have prepaid the $400 filing fee. The named Plaintiffs are currently in various institutions both within and outside the Southern District of Illinois; those located in this District are Kuykendall (Menard Correctional Center), and Reed (Lawrence Correctional Center). Plaintiffs identify themselves as transgender women, and have sought evaluation and/or treatment for gender dysphoria during their IDOC custody. They allege that the IDOC has denied and/or delayed evaluation and medically necessary treatment and accommodations for their gender dysphoria, causing them to suffer physical and psychological distress, including self-harm and suicide attempts. They contend that incarceration under these conditions violates their Eighth Amendment rights. They seek class action certification, and declaratory and injunctive relief. Under 28 U.S.C. ยง 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 Defendants for violations of their constitutional rights. Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 72.1(a)(2), this action is REFERRED to a United States Magistrate Judge for further pre-trial proceedings. Further, this entire matter shall be REFERRED to the United States Magistrate Judge for disposition, pursuant to Local Rule 72.2(b)(2) and 28 U.S.C. ยง 636(c), if all parties consent to such a referral. Counsel for Plaintiffs may initiate service without further delay. Defendants are ORDERED to timely file an appropriate responsive pleading to the Complaint and shall not waive filing a reply pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ยง 1997e(g). Signed by Judge David R. Herndon on 2/1/2018. (tjk)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 02/01/2018)
