UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

HENRY A. JONES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

P. KUPPINGER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-0451 WBS AC P 

ORDER 

On June 7, 2016, after reviewing the parties’ respective status reports, this court issued an 

order noting the close of discovery in this action and that dispositive motions remain due on or 

before September 9, 2016. See ECF No. 91. The court directed the parties to engage informally 

in further settlement negotiations. Id. Plaintiff has now notified the court that he has rejected 

defendant’s latest settlement offer, and requests that a jury trial be scheduled. See ECF No. 92. 

Defendant opposes plaintiff’s request as premature. ECF No. 93. The court agrees. Should this 

action survive dispositive motion(s), or if no dispositive motion is filed, the court will then 

schedule this case for jury trial, as requested by both plaintiff and defendants, see ECF Nos. 30, 

48.
