IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN HARDNEY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-02-1518 FCD JFM P

vs.

T.L. ROSARIO, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 18, 2005, defendants filed an interlocutory appeal from the district

court’s March 8, 2005 order denying their motion for summary judgment as to defendants T.L.

Rosario, S.J. Vance and Cheryl Pliler. The pendency of that appeal “divests the district court of

control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal.” Griggs v. Provident Consumer

Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982). Defendants’ appeal involves core issues central to

resolution of the claims tendered in this action. 

Accordingly, good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The parties are relieved of their obligation to file a pretrial statement pending

further order of court.

2. The pretrial conference on the papers, set before the undersigned for May 25,

2005, is vacated.
