FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GLEN GARDNER,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0647 EFB P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 7, 2006, plaintiff filed a request for an

extension of forty-five days in which to file a trial brief and jury instructions. Plaintiff’s request

cannot be accommodated without resetting the trial date, currently set for November 28, 2006. 

Therefore, the court will deny plaintiff’s request. Plaintiff will be relieved, however, of his

obligation to file a trial brief. Plaintiff is also advised that the court will provide standard jury

instructions. Should plaintiff desire to submit special instructions to the court, he will be given

leave to do so on the first day of trial. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s November 7, 2006, request for an extension of time is denied;

2. Plaintiff is relieved of his obligation to file a trial brief; and
