UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON LATRELL THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. WILBER, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:10-cv-00006-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS TO 

FILE STATUS REPORT REGARDING 

PLAITNIFF’S PROPERTY AND ACCESS 

TO LEGAL MATERIAL OR SERVICES 

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

(Doc. 93)

Plaintiff Jason Latrell Thomas, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on January 4, 2010. This case is set for 

jury trial on May 5, 2015. On April 24, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking the appointment of 

counsel. In the motion, Plaintiff states that his personal and legal property was destroyed by 

prison officials.1 In addition, Plaintiff’s mental health issues and resulting interruptions to access 

to legal material are documented in the record.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Defendants shall file 

a status report, supported by evidence, addressing the current status of Plaintiff’s property and his 

access to legal material and/or services;

 

1

Plaintiff’s assertion that all of his legal material was destroyed on September 11, 2013, is contradicted by the record. 

(Docs. 82, 84, 88, 89, 90.) Plaintiff is warned that if the Court determines that he had made false statements, he will 

be subject to sanctions, up to and including dismissal of this action. Misrepresentations to the Court will not be 

tolerated.
