UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PRAKASH NARAYAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-00466-TLN-CKD (PS)

ORDER

(ECF No. 71.) 

Presently before the court is pro se plaintiff Prakash Narayan’s second motion to 

disqualify the undersigned and motion to continue the status (pretrial scheduling) conference in 

this matter. (ECF Nos. 71, 72.)

Plaintiff’s second motion to disqualify largely mirrors his original motion, which the court 

previously denied. (ECF No. 51.) Thus, for the same reasons discussed in the court’s previous 

order, plaintiff’s present motion is found to be without merit. To the extent plaintiff raises new 

arguments in the present motion, they do not change this outcome. Accordingly, the court 

DENIES plaintiff’s motion to disqualify the undersigned. (ECF No. 71.)

Regarding plaintiff’s motion to continue the status conference in this matter, the court 

GRANTS plaintiff’s motion. The court hereby continues the status conference to July 15, 2020 at
