United States First Circuit

In a class action to remedy unconstitutional conditions of confinement in the Puerto Rico prison system, the district court's assignment of certain duties to a health care coordinator is a proper exercise of the district court's authority, and is not a modification of a previous injunction; no interlocutory appeal will be heard.
