Defendants. ORDER

 /

This matter came on for telephonic status conference March 15, 2007. Plaintiff,

proceeding in pro per, did not appear. Grant Lien, Deputy Attorney General, appeared for

defendants. Lt. Ventamilla and Officer Morrow also appeared. Good cause appearing therefor,

THE COURT FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:

Lt. Ventamilla reported that plaintiff refused to strip down for search prior to

removal from administrative segregation, in violation of institutional requirements, and therefore

could not attend today’s hearing. There was no telephone in administrative segregation and it

was not possible to deliver a cell phone to plaintiff in his cell. 

Both Mr. Morrow and Mr. Lien stated that plaintiff has not submitted a written

request to go to the law library or to obtain particular legal materials since the court issued its

February 2, 2007 order. Both parties assured the court that if plaintiff completed the proper

forms, he could gain access to either.

for over eleven years to remedy constitutional violations in the delivery of mental health care to

seriously mentally ill inmates in the California Department of Corrections. Coleman v.

status to this court. Good cause appearing, this matter will be stayed pending receipt of said

report.

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the special

master in Coleman v. Schwarzenegger, Case No. CIV S-90-0520 LKK JFM P; the special master

is requested to submit a report on plaintiff’s status in the instant action.

2. This action is stayed for a period of ninety days or such shorter period as may

appear approriate after receipt of a report from the Coleman special master.
