[PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF CLARENCE V. KNIGHT’S ATTIRE AND RESTRAINTS 

AT TRIAL STARTING SEPTEMBER 26, 2007 

CASE NO. C 00-0290 SBA (PR) 

402646.01 

This matter came before the Court during the parties’ September 11, 2007 pretrial 

conference. During the pretrial conference, and in his previously filed Administrative Motion 

[Dkt. 161], Plaintiff Clarence V. Knight requested permission to wear plain clothes at trial and to 

appear before the jury without physical restraints, such as shackles. 

The Court finds that Mr. Knight’s appearance in plain clothes and in the absence of 

restraints is appropriate here, based on information currently available. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

Mr. Knight shall appear at trial, starting September 26, 2007 and continuing through the 

end of trial, in plain clothes, to be provided by his counsel. Further, Mr. Knight shall appear at 

trial in the absence of physical restraints, such as shackles, unless defendants demonstrates to the 

Court’s satisfaction, the need for such restraints. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: 9/14/07
