UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LANCE WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

WASCO STATE PRISON, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-01714-MJS (PC)

ORDER SETTING TELEPHONIC 

STATUS CONFERENCE

Date: September 16, 2015

Time: 2:00 p.m., Courtroom 6 (MJS)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to magistrate 

judge jurisdiction. (ECF No. 5.)

On May 13, 2015, the Court found that Plaintiff had stated cognizable Eighth 

Amendment medical indifference claims against Defendant John Does 1 and 2. (ECF 

Nos. 10 & 12.) However, Plaintiff does not know the identities of Does 1 or 2. Because 

service cannot proceed on defendants whose names are not known, the Court opened 

discovery for the limited purpose of identifying Does 1 and 2. (ECF No. 12.) Ultimately, 

Wasco State Prison produced, in camera, documents which may aid in identifying the 

Doe defendants. (ECF No. 18.) The Court has determined that a telephonic status 

conference is necessary to discuss how to proceed next.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This matter is set for telephonic status conference before the Honorable 

Michael J. Seng on September 16, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 6;

2. Wasco State Prison staff or their counsel must arrange for the participation of
