UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma 

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

Plaintiff’s complaint, filed May 9, 2011, against Defendant Badagon for excessive force in violation of 

the Fourteenth Amendment. Defendant Badagon filed an answer to the complaint on July 24, 2012. 

On August 4, 2012, the Court issued a Discovery Order and Scheduling Order, which set the deadline 

to complete discovery as April 1, 2013, and the deadline to file dispositive motions as June 10, 2013. 

(ECF No. 13.)

On November 7, 2013, Plaintiff filed the instant motion requesting a complete federal inquest 

because he did not receive an initial copy of the Second Scheduling Order. Plaintiff complains that the 

order arrived at Coalinga State Hospital, but was removed by unidentified Coalinga State Hospital 

staff. (ECF No. 32.)

There is no basis for the Court to order a federal inquest into an allegation that Plaintiff did not 

receive a copy of the Second Scheduling Order. On October 25, 2013, Plaintiff requested an 

additional copy of the Second Scheduling Order. The Court granted the request and an additional 

copy of the Second Scheduling Order was sent to Plaintiff. (ECF No. 30.) Plaintiff has indicated his 

receipt of the additional copy. (ECF Nos. 32.) Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request for a federal inquest is 

DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
