IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAVIN M. RHODES, CASE NO. CV-F-02-5018 LJO DLB P

Plaintiff, ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE 

vs. ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINES FOR

FILING MOTIONS IN LIMINE, AND

OPPOSITIONS TO ANY MOTIONS IN

LIMINE

M. ROBINSON, et al., [Doc. 140]

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff Kavin Rhodes (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter is currently set for jury

trial on May 20, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. (Doc. 149). 

On April 11, 2008, plaintiff filed a motion for a thirty day continuance of the trial date, on the

grounds that his legal materials were removed from him and that he was therefore unable to prepare

for trial. (Doc. 140). Defendants filed a statement of non-opposition on April 11, 2008. (Doc. 152).

A telephonic trial conference hearing was held on April 18, 2008 to discuss plaintiff’s motion

for a continuance. Plaintiff indicated that his legal materials had since been returned, and agreed to

withdraw his request based on the present circumstances.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for a 30 day continuance is HEREBY DISREGARDED. The

court will allow both parties an extension of time to file their motions in limine. All motions in

limine must be served on the other party and filed with the Court, by April 29, 2008. Any

opposition to a motion in limine must be served on the other party, and filed with the Court by May

13, 2008. If any party files a motion in limine, the Court will hear and decide such motions at 8:30

a.m. on the morning of trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
