UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEWART MANAGO,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRAD WILLIAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:07-cv-02290 TLN KJN P

ORDER 

On September 2, 2014, plaintiff filed two motions: (1) “Motion for the Court to Take 

Notice of the Joint Hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Government Oversight in Support 

of Plaintiff’s Confidential Settlement Hearing” (ECF No. 299 (246 pages)), which includes a 

transcript of the January 2004 committee hearing on the “Reform of How Employee 

Investigations Are Conducted at Youth and Adult Correctional Facilities;” and (2) “Motion for 

the Court to Take Into Consideration of the Green Wall Prison Gang Activities, and Criminal 

Organized Crime Within CDCR in Support of Plaintiff’s Confidential Settlement Statement 

Within this Cause of Action . . . .” (ECF No. 300 (186 pages)). 

Plaintiff is informed that “motions” filed in this court are for the purpose of “request[ing] 

a court order.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(1). Plaintiff’s submissions are intended for consideration by 

the Magistrate Judge who will be conducting the settlement conference in this action on 

September 11, 2014. The submissions do not seek a court order and therefore are not “motions.”

Accordingly, the Clerk of Court will be directed to redesignate both “motions” as “submissions.” 

Consideration of these matters is within the discretion of the Magistrate Judge conducting the 

settlement conference. No further action will be taken in response to these filings.

Two additional matters require comment. First, plaintiff is directed to this court’s order 

filed September 2, 2014 (ECF No. 297) which, in pertinent part, directs officials at plaintiff’s 

place of incarceration, California State Prison Corcoran, to expedite the copying and mailing of 

plaintiff’s confidential settlement statement. If these tasks have not yet been completed, it is 

imperative that they be completed immediately, and that plaintiff’s statement be received by this 

court as soon as possible.

Second, plaintiff is again admonished to cease filing any documents in this case unless 

expressly directed by the court. Plaintiff is reminded of this court’s prior admonishment, as set 

forth by order filed December 12, 2013 (ECF No. 275 at 5 (fns. omitted)): 

Admonition: Plaintiff has repeatedly been admonished to refrain 

from filing extraneous matters in this action. (See e.g. ECF No. 

148; ECF No. 206 at 4-5; ECF No. 211.) Plaintiff is again 

admonished to refrain from filing any matters in this case unless 

directed by the court, under penalty of sanctions. See Fed. R. Civ. 

P. 11; Local Rules 110, 183(a).

No further accommodation will be accorded plaintiff. Failure of plaintiff to abide by this 

admonition shall result in the imposition of monetary and/or evidentiary sanctions. Plaintiff shall 

submit no further matters in this action with the exception of his confidential settlement statement 

(which shall be mailed, not filed), unless directed by the court.

For these reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of Court is directed to designate plaintiff’s “motions” filed September 2, 

2014 (ECF No. 299, 300) as “submissions;” the court will take no further action on these matters.

2. If not already submitted, plaintiff shall immediately mail his confidential settlement 

statement to the Clerk of Court, for consideration by the Magistrate Judge conducting the 

September 11, 2014 settlement conference in this case.

3. Plaintiff is admonished to file no further matters in this action unless directed by the 

court.
