UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LESLIE LARAY CRAWFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF BAKERSFIELD, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01735-SAB

ORDER FOLLOWING STATUS 

CONFERENCE

A jury trial was conducted in this matter and on October 20, 2016, the jury returned a 

verdict for Defendants City of Bakersfield and Aaron Stinger and against Plaintiff Leslie Laray 

Crawford. (ECF Nos. 83, 87.) Judgment was entered on October 21, 2016, and Plaintiff filed a 

notice of appeal that was processed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 21, 

2016. (ECF Nos. 89, 92, 93.) 

On December 16, 2019, this action was remanded and the mandate issued on January 7, 

2020. (ECF Nos. 103, 111.) A status conference was held on January 21, 2020. Counsel Ben 

Meiselas appeared telephonically for Plaintiff; and counsel Heather Cohen appeared 

telephonically for Defendants. 

At the status conference, Mr. Meiselas stated that he is new counsel for Plaintiff and 

Defendants indicated that they are intending to file a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. 

Therefore, the Court finds that this matter is not ripe to set for trial at this time.
