UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Jesse Washington is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

This case is set for jury trial on August 2, 2016 before the undersigned.

On July 22, 2016, a telephonic motion in limine hearing took place. During the hearing, 

Plaintiff requested that he be permitted to wear street clothing, consisting of a shirt and tie, for the trial 

in this matter. In the Court’s experience, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation 

transports prisoners in cloth jumpsuits, but, taking into consideration safety and security issues, they 

may wear their civil clothing in the courtroom as is appropriate. 

Plaintiff’s request to wear civil clothing is GRANTED, subject to the presentation by 

Defendant of safety or security issues on the morning of trial.
