No. 1:06-CV-00230-SMM

ORDER

The Court previously continued the telephonic status conference to May 24, 2010.

Recently, Plaintiff requested that certain accommodations be made at the continued status

conference so that he can better participate in it (Dkt. 76). However, the Court cannot

interfere with prison officials’ management of their own affairs by ordering these

discretionary accommodations. Though, it may be helpful for Plaintiff to be handcuffed in

front, rather than behind, in order for him to refer to his legal documents during the status

conference. Therefore, the Court will order defense counsel to simply inquire of prison

officials at California Correctional Institution – Tehachapi whether Plaintiff can be

handcuffed in front during the status conference. Of course, the Court and defense counsel

must defer to the prison officials’ balancing of reasonable accommodations with safety and

security.
