v.

Defendant.

1:00-CV-06331-DLB-P

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR PRODUCTION OF VIDEO TAPE

(Doc. 486)

ORDER CHANGING TIME FOR TRIAL

Previous Time for Trial: 9:00 a.m. on 09-11-2007

New Time: 8:30 a.m. on 09-11-2007

Scott E. Stearns (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Trial in this action is scheduled to begin on

September 11, 2007. On August 10, 2007, plaintiff filed a motion for defendant to produce a

copy of a video tape of a cell extraction taken on September 23, 1999, showing the condition of

injuries sustained by plaintiff on August 4, 1999. On August 17, 2007, defendant filed a

response to plaintiff’s motion, agreeing to produce a copy of the video tape if it exists and can be

located. In light of defendant’s affirmative response, plaintiff’s motion appears moot and need

not be decided by the court.

In his response, defendant objected to the introduction of any video tape of a cell

extraction at trial and proposed that the court resolve this issue at 8:30 a.m. on the morning of
