For reasons discussed at the conference, the parties are ORDERED to appear telephonically

for Defendant Sims is requested to arrange for Plaintiff’s telephonic appearance. The parties are

at High Desert State Prison, where Plaintiff is being held, in order to ensure that Plaintiff has adequate

subject of each witness’ testimony; and 2) a revised list of records he intends to offer, including a very

brief statement of what the record is offered to show. This document should be captioned

“Amendments to Pretrial Disclosures.” As discussed at the pretrial conference, the explanations

included in each list should show why each witness’ testimony or record is necessary to support one

or both of Plaintiff’s claims. The Court expects Plaintiff will send these in time so that they can be

read and considered before the follow-up pretrial conference. Plaintiff shall be prepared to discuss

these two lists at the follow-up pretrial conference. 

The parties have agreed to confer regarding the possibility of agreeing to proceed before a

magistrate judge. The parties are directed to inform the Court at the follow-up pretrial conference

regarding any agreement they reach.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
