IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted in part and denied in part as follows: The motion is granted as to all claims against defendant Roark and as to the access-to-courts claim against defendant Lamb; the motion is denied as to the retaliation claims against defendant Lamb.
