UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW R. LOPEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

MATTHEW CATE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:10-cv-1773-DAD-SKO (PC)

ORDER FOR DEFENDANTS TO SHOW 

CAUSE WHY SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT BE 

IMPOSED FOR FAILING TO COMPLY 

WITH THE SCHEDULING ORDER FOR 

EVIDENTIARY HEARING (Doc. 170)

DEADLINE: August 11, 2016 11:00 a.m.

Plaintiff, Andrew R. Lopez, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on September 10, 2010. This action is 

currently proceeding on Plaintiff’s amended complaint, filed on March 23, 2012, against 

Defendants Garcia, Zamora, Espinosa, Jackson, Drew, Olmedo, Munoz, Fields, White, Rousseau, 

Martinez, Beer, Gray, Beard, and Gipson (“Defendants”) for violating Plaintiff’s federal 

constitutional rights. Plaintiff’s claims arise out of his conditions of confinement at California 

State Prison, Corcoran in Corcoran, California in 2008 and 2009.

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment for failure to exhaust was resolved in full with 

the exception of Plaintiff’s First Amendment retaliation claims against Defendants Garcia and 

Beer arising out of incidents alleged to have occurred on July 22, 2009, July 24, 2009, and 

September 30, 2009. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). With respect to those claims, 

the Court determined that there are disputed factual issues requiring an evidentiary hearing. 

Williams v. Paramo, 775 F.3d 1182, 1191-92 (9th Cir. 2015); Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 

1170 (9th Cir. 2014) (en banc).

The evidentiary hearing is currently set for August 23, 2016. (Docs. 170, 171.) The 

Scheduling Order for Evidentiary Hearing required the parties to meet and confer and file joint

exhibits and witness lists on or before August 8, 2016. (Doc. 170.) Notwithstanding the Court’s 

order, Defendants have filed only their own exhibits and witness list. (Docs. 179, 180.)

Accordingly, Defendants are HEREBY ORDERED to show cause by 11:00 a.m. on 

Thursday, August 11, 2016, why sanctions should not be imposed for their failure to comply 

with the Scheduling Order for Evidentiary Hearing; alternatively, within that same time-frame, 

Defendants may file joint exhibits and witness lists. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 8, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
