IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

COY PHELPS, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-2481 MCE JFM P

vs.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

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

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 13, 2005 plaintiff filed a motion to continue the pretrial

conference set in this matter due to defendants’ alleged failure to provide discovery responses. 

On June 24, 2005, defendants filed a motion to dismiss this action as time-barred. On September

28, 2005, defendants City of Lodi, City of Lodi Police Department, Chief Jerry Adams and “1

Unknown Female Officer” filed an application for an extension of time to file a pretrial statement

and a continuance of the pretrial conference presently set for October 14, 2005 due to the

pendency of their motion for summary judgment. 

After review of the record herein, and good cause appearing, the parties will be

relieved of their obligation to file pretrial statements and the date set for pretrial conference will

be vacated. The court will not, however, reopen discovery in this matter. The dates vacated by
