UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FLOYD ESPEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEUEL VOCATIONAL INSTITUTION, 

et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 13-cv-2147 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s January 21, 2016 request to 

reopen this action. (ECF No. 104.) For the following reasons, this request is denied as 

unnecessary.

On December 10, 2015, the undersigned recommended that this action be dismissed based 

on plaintiff’s failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 100.) On December 23, 2015, plaintiff filed a 

pleading indicating that he intended to prosecute this action. (ECF No. 101.) Accordingly, on 

January 7, 2016, the undersigned vacated the December 10, 2015 findings and recommendations 

and issued a further scheduling order. (ECF No. 102.) This action is set for jury trial on August 

29, 2016, before the Honorable Troy L. Nunley as to plaintiff’s claim that defendant Baath 

improperly discontinued his prescription for Artane.
