UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMUNDO VICENTE RUBIO,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF VISALIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:21-cv-00286-SAB

ORDER SETTING INFORMAL STATUS 

CONFERENCE FOR MAY 24, 2024

(ECF Nos. 85, 87)

On April 25, 2024, the Court issued an order requiring the parties to meet and confer and 

file by May 15, 2024 a joint status report that includes three potential trial dates for trial 

beginning in or soon after October 2024 and the parties’ estimated number of trial days. (ECF 

No. 85 at 14.)

On May 15, 2024, Plaintiff filed a joint status report. (ECF No. 87.)1 Therein, the parties 

proposed the following trial dates: April 1, April 8, and April 15, 2025. (Id.) The parties 

estimate that the trial will last between 5 and 7 days, inclusive of jury selection and pre-trial 

motion work. (Id.) 

The parties have noted the prolonged nature of this case in recent filings and oral 

argument. The Court is therefore prepared to accommodate the parties and prioritize a trial in 

this action to occur “beginning in or soon after October 2024.” (ECF No. 85 at 14.) The Court 

1 Plaintiff filed two documents entitled “joint status report.” However, it appears the only difference between the 

documents is the initial omission and subsequent inclusion of a stipulation by counsel for Defendants. (Compare

ECF No. 86 with ECF No. 87.) Accordingly, all references to the joint status report shall be to ECF No. 87.

does not find good cause to set trial for April 2025. Accordingly, the Court shall order that the 

parties appear at an informal status conference and be prepared to propose trial dates beginning 

in or soon after October 2024 but no later than December 31, 2024. Also, based upon the nature

of the case and the claims remaining this trial appears to less trial days than estimated by the 

parties. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties appear for an informal status 

conference on May 24, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 9 and be prepared to discuss a trial 

date this year.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 21, 2024
