Note on litigation: Two federal cases in the Northern District of Georgia list Tatum as a defendant, but neither appears connected to their GDC leadership role. In Re Paragard IUD Products Liability Litigation (1:20-md-02974, filed 2020-12-16, pending) is a mass-tort multidistrict proceeding unrelated to corrections. Singleton v. Owens (4:14-cv-00290, filed 2014-11-19, terminated 2016-12-13) closed without a recorded outcome amount; GPS records do not link it to any facility Tatum supervised. No corrections-specific lawsuits naming Tatum as a defendant appear in GPS records.
