Mr. Rands, Mr. Gilmer and Mr. Hosmer-Henner discuss the status report and response with the Court. The Court notes the large number of inmates who have declined HCV testing. The Court and counsel discuss providing information to inmates regarding testing opportunities, including placing information in new inmate packets, using group education such as utilizing the TV network inside the prison system or enlisting inmate volunteers who might discuss testing options with other inmates. Mr. Hosmer-Henner suggests that the state set up a spreadsheet to verify known instances of HCV due to the concerns expressed by the Court about potential discrepancy. In response to questions by the Court, Mr. Rands and Mr. Gilmore address MD-219 and the deadlines imposed by the consent decree. The Court has reviewed the notice of violation filed by inmate Kevin Fernandez (ECF No. 87 .) Based upon the representations of Mr. Rands, the Court will disregard Kevin Fernandez's notice of violation (ECF No. 87 .) The Court directs counsel to confer on the the following issues: 1) communication with inmates regarding the availability of HCV testing and 2) verification of known instances of HCV due to concerns about potential discrepancy. The parties are directed to file a status report on 6/28/2021. The Court sets a status conference for 6/29/2021 at 1:30 PM to further discuss resolving the issues identified above.
