UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Troas Barnett (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis 

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The parties have consented to magistrate judge 

jurisdiction. (Plaintiff’s consent, ECF No. 9; Defendants’ consent, ECF No. 62.) This action proceeds 

on Plaintiff’s claims that Defendants Gamboa, Duran, and Torres used excessive physical force 

against him in violation of his rights under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution 

and that Defendant Torres failed to intervene to protect Plaintiff from harm in violation of his rights 

under the Eighth Amendment. A jury trial is set to commence in this matter on February 23, 2016.

On November 23, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion in limine regarding a six-minute November 4, 

2003 videotape of the emergency room at C.S.A.T.F. (ECF No. 356.) At the December 17, 2015 

hearing in this matter, the parties also discussed a videotape that shows Plaintiff being housed at a new 

institution after the incidents at issue in this trial. Defense counsel represented that she would produce 

both videotapes on the morning of trial. No determination was yet made regarding the admissibility 

into evidence of either videotape.
