UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JANICE SUGITA,

Plaintiff,

v.

B. PARKER, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:13-cv-00118-AWI-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE AND SETTING DEADLINE 

FOR DEFENDANT’S PRETRIAL 

STATEMENT

(ECF No. 42)

FOURTEEN (14) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF Nos. 4 & 10.) The action 

proceeds on a First Amendment retaliation claim against Defendant Longia.1 (ECF No. 

10.)

On July 6, 2015, the Court issued a second scheduling order, requiring Plaintiff to 

file and serve a pretrial statement on or before September 7, 2015. (ECF No. 37.) The 

deadline for Plaintiff to file a pretrial statement passed without Plaintiff filing her

statement or seeking an extension of time to do so. 

 

1 The Court granted Defendants Salinas and Longia’s motions for summary judgment on the 

Eighth Amendment medical indifference claims. (ECF No. 36.)

Accordingly, on September 16, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause 

why her action should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to obey a court order or 

to file a pretrial statement. (ECF No. 42.) Plaintiff responded that she had mailed her 

pretrial statement to the Court on August 26, 2015; since the Court had not received it, 

she re-submitted it . (ECF No. 46.) 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The order to show cause (ECF No. 42) is DISCHARGED;

2. Defendant has fourteen days from the date of service of this order to file 

his pretrial statement; 

3. This matter is set for telephonic trial confirmation hearing before the 

Honorable Anthony W. Ishii on November 16, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. in 

Courtroom 2; and

4. Counsel for Defendant is required to arrange for the participation of Plaintiff

in the telephonic trial confirmation hearing and to initiate the telephonic 

hearing at (559) 499-5660.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
