UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD MARTINEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALLISON, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:11-cv-00293 LJO DLB PC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION FOR CONSOLIDATION 

AND STAY PENDING APPEAL

(Document 105)

Plaintiff Ronald Martinez (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis 

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 11, 2014, the Court granted 

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and entered judgment. Plaintiff’s appeal is now pending 

before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

On April 12, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to consolidate this action with two others 

pending before this Court.1

At least as the matter pertains to the instant action, Plaintiff’s notice of appeal divested this 

Court of jurisdiction to rule on the matter. Pyrodyne Corp. v. Pyrotronics Corp., 847 F.2d 1398, 

1403 (9th Cir. 1988).
