Nugent v. Spectrum Juvenile Justice Services, et al.
2:21-cv-12741-JJCG-CI · 2024-07-09

In a wrongful-death suit arising from a juvenile detainee's suicide, Steeh considered the defendants' objections to Magistrate Judge Curtis Ivy Jr.'s order granting a motion to compel discovery. He remanded the non-dispositive discovery matter so the magistrate judge could consider an overlooked protective-order motion and clarify which facilities the discovery order covered, without reaching any dispositive merits issue. The docket was assigned to Judge Jonathan J.C. Grey, but Steeh signed the order. Quote: 'this matter is REMANDED to the magistrate judge to consider Defendants’ motion for a protective order (ECF No. 60).'
