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. Defendants’ summary judgment motion, filed February 11, 2015, 

is submitted for decision. (ECF No. 73.) After defendants filed their summary judgment motion, 

plaintiff filed a notice of change of address indicating that he was no longer incarcerated. (ECF 

No. 79.) 

Pending before the court is defendants’ April 7, 2015 request for application of the nonprisoner provisions in the local rules. (ECF No. 86.) In particular, defendants request that the 

court set defendants’ summary judgment motion for hearing and oral argument.

Because plaintiff is no longer incarcerated, application of the non-prisoner provisions in 

the local rules is appropriate. However, after reviewing the pleadings, the undersigned has 

determined that oral argument regarding defendants’ summary judgment motion is not warranted.
