The parties having filed their Stipulation to Enter Consent Injunction, and the Court
having reviewed the matter, and being duly advised, finds that the consented to injunction should
be entered, and
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the defendants are permanently enjoined as follows:
Defendants are enjoined from rejecting Prison Legal News at the New Castle

publication in the future, with publication defined as any book, booklet, pamphlet,
magazine, periodical, or newsletter, Defendants agree to provide the sender of that
rejected publication with a notification letter so as to inform the sender about the
rejection of the publication. Defendants’ notification letter shall state the reason for the
rejection and shall identify the name and date of the rejected publication, the name(s) of
the prisoner(s) who were not allowed to receive the rejected publication, and shall
provide the publisher or sender with an opportunity to appeal the rejection of the
publication to the Defendant’s Eastern Regional Director of Operations.

Defendants shall post a copy of the Consent Injunction in the inmates’ living areas for a
period of 90 days and shall maintain a copy of it in the New Castle law library.
