UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRENT ADLER,

Plaintiff,

v.

FERNANDO GONZALEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-01867-DAD-SKO PC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM LOCAL 

RULE 230(l)

(Doc. 30)

Plaintiff Brent Adler, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on November 18, 2013. This action involves past conditions 

of confinement at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Although Plaintiff was not 

incarcerated when he filed this action, the Court directed that Local Rule 230(l) would apply to 

this case. (Doc. 3.) 

On January 21, 2016, Defendants filed a request for relief from Local Rule 230(l) citing 

merely that Plaintiff is not incarcerated. (Doc. 30.) Defendants cite neither legal authority nor any 

justification for being relieved from Local Rule 230(l), and the Court finds none. As such, Local 

Rule 230(l) shall continue to apply to this case. Hunt v. County of Orange, 672 F.3d 606, 616 (9th 

Cir. 2012) (district courts have broad discretion to manage course of litigation); U.S. v. Batiste, 

868 F.2d 1089, 1091 n.4 (9th Cir. 1989) (district courts have broad discretion to manage 

calendars).
