UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff C. Dwayne Gilmore is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding against Defendants Lockard, Lopez, 

and Hightower for excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment. All parties have consented 

to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge. (ECF Nos. 8, 199.) This matter is currently set 

for a two to three day jury trial beginning on February 21, 2017. A telephonic pretrial confirmation 

hearing is currently set for January 9, 2017, at 3:30 p.m.

Currently before the Court is Defendants’ motion to continue the trial date, filed December 15, 

2016. (ECF No. 209.) Defendants seek a one-week extension of the trial date due to the unavailability 

of their expert witness, Dr. K. Kumar. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the motion, the Court finds it 

appropriate to issue an order for Plaintiff to oppose this motion on an expedited basis, and to allow this 

matter to be heard orally at the telephonic pretrial confirmation hearing.

C. DWAYNE GILMORE,

 Plaintiff,

v.

C. LOCKARD, et al.,

Defendants.
