UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANSE SULLIVAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALLENBY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00275 DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO EXTEDITE TRIAL DATE

(Document 33) 

Plaintiff Manse Sullivan (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action filed. This action is proceeding against Defendant Allenby.

Pursuant to the December 9, 2015, Discovery and Scheduling Order, the dispositive motion 

deadline is July 6, 2016.

On January 7, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion in which he consents to the jurisdiction of the 

United States Magistrate Judge and opted into the expedited trial setting procedure. 

On January 25, 2016, Defendant informed the Court that he consented to the expedited trial 

setting procedure, but that this consent is based on the Court’s scheduling order permitting the filing 

of a dispositive motion.

As explained in the notice, the Court will only “expedite” trial where the parties agree that 

certain dates, such as the dispositive motion deadline, should be vacated as unnecessary and the case 

should proceed directly to trial after the close of discovery.

Given Defendant’s belief that a dispositive motion is necessary, the Court will set this matter 

for trial pursuant to its normal procedures, i.e., if and when any claims remain after ruling on 

dispositive motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
