TORRUELLA, Chief Judge.
A 1975 civil rights suit by inmates in New Hampshire State Prison ultimately resulted in a consent decree, which was amended in 1990. In response to a 1993 suit alleging contempt of that decree, and pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PLRA”), 18 U.S.C. § 3626, prison officials successfully moved to terminate the decree. The principal issue on appeal is when, if ever, must the district court afford inmates who allege “current and ongoing” violations of federal rights the opportunity to supplement the existing record.
