U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Thursday gave the federal prisons bureau until Monday to plead its case after learning that an inmate at the prison appeared to have been placed in a housing unit known to include solitary confinement cells and then transferred to Southern California, all in apparent violation of the judge's orders.
