Tony Tremayne Lewis v. Jeff Zmuda, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Kansas denied Plaintiff Tony Tremayne Lewis’s motion for preliminary injunctive relief in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action concerning prison conditions, transfer, access to legal materials, television use, and filing procedures. The court granted his motion for an extension of time to provide a corrected six-month account statement and maintained the initial partial filing fee assessment unless the statement was timely provided.

Holdings

1. Plaintiff was not entitled to a preliminary injunction because he failed to make the heightened showing required for a mandatory injunction, including a clear and unequivocal likelihood of success and certain, non-theoretical irreparable harm.
2. Plaintiff was granted an extension until February 12, 2026, to provide an account statement for the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Plaintiff established entitlement to a preliminary injunction requiring prison officials to transfer him, permit television use, and process pro se filings within specified deadlines.
2. Whether Plaintiff should receive an extension of time to submit a six-month account statement for the period immediately preceding the filing of his complaint.
