UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NICHOLAS SANTS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DEPUTY MICHAEL SEIPERT 

et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-00355-KJM-CKD 

ORDER 

1 On September 3, 2015, the court directed the parties “to file a status 

2 report within thirty (30) days of the date of this order, reporting on the progress 

3 of the criminal prosecution and every thirty days thereafter until the criminal 

4 case is concluded.” ECF No. 11 at 5. On October 2 and November 3, 2015, 

5 defendant County of Placer filed a status report, ECF Nos. 14, 16, and plaintiff 

6 Nicholas Sants filed a report on October 2, ECF No. 15. In the November 3, 

7 2016 status report, County of Placer stated the criminal case was still ongoing, 

8 ECF No. 16. Subsequently, the court issued an order to show cause, because the 

9 parties did not file further reports after November 3, 2016. 

10 County of Placer responded to the order to show cause on August 26, 

11 2016, ECF No. 18. County of Placer states that the failure to file status reports 

12 had been due to miscommunication between the parties’ counsel; County of 

13 Placer had assumed plaintiff’s counsel would file all future status reports to avoid 

14 redundancy. ECF No. 18 at 2. County of Placer also informs the court that the 

15 criminal prosecution of plaintiff is still ongoing with a trial confirmation 

16 conference currently set for September 23, 2016. Id. at 3.
