AMENDED PRETRIAL ORDER

(ECF No. 117)

Motion in Limine Hearing: April 25, 2016 at 

10:00 am. in Courtroom 8 (BAM)

Plaintiff Leonardo Joseph Rangel (“Plaintiff”) is a former state prisoner proceeding in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on 

Plaintiff’s claims of excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment, and assault and 

battery under state law, against Defendants D. LaTraille and J. Taber (erroneously sued as “J. 

Tabor”). All parties have consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction. (ECF Nos. 9, 93). A jury 

trial is currently confirmed for May 3, 2016.

On March 24, 2015, pursuant to this Court’s prior order, Plaintiff filed a statement 

regarding the trial in this matter. (ECF No. 125.) Plaintiff’s statement requires the amendment of 

the March 16, 2016 Pretrial Order previously issued in this matter. Furthermore, the Court finds 

that the interests of judicial economy are best served by adjusting the date for the motion in 

limine hearing in this matter. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. Section IV of the Pretrial Order is amended, as follows:

Plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorney’s fees 

and costs, and other relief as the Court deems proper. Plaintiff 

abandons his claims for declaratory relief and injunctive relief.

Defendants pray for judgment in their favor, with Rangel taking 

nothing, an award of costs, and such other relief as the Court 

deems proper.

2. The motion in limine hearing in this matter will be held, telephonically, on April 

25, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 8 (BAM); and

3. All other provisions, dates, deadlines, requirements, admonishments, and 

instructions in the Court’s March 16, 2016 Pretrial Order issued in this matter remain the same.

4. No further briefing will be considered in support of or in opposition to these fully 

briefed motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
