IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GRANTINA A. DAVIS, CASE NO. CV-F-05-00371 LJO

Plaintiff, ORDER RE BRIEFING ON PLAINTIFF’S 

EX PARTE

APPLICATION AND MOTION

vs. TO AMEND (Doc. 40, 41)

CIGNA HEALTHCARE,

Defendant.

 /

On February 9, 2006, plaintiff Grantrina A. Davis filed (1) an ex parte application requesting the

Court find defense counsel and defendant in contempt for providing false information to the Court, and

(2) motion for relief from stay and to amend the pleading.

The Court determines the ex parte application is appropriate for resolution without response by

defendant. However, the Court requires briefing on plaintiff’s motion for relief from the stay and to

amend the pleadings.

The Court DENIES plaintiff’s request for contempt. The allegations in the motion for contempt

may be appropriate for amendment of the pleadings as it pertains to subsequent damage arising from this

litigation.
