UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TREMANE DARNELL CARTHEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

P. SCOTT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00227-DAD-EPG (PC)

ORDER ALLOWING PLAINTIFF TO FILE 

SUR-REPLY RE: EGBERT V. BOULE

Tremane Carthen (“Plaintiff”) is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

with this civil rights action. 

On May 18, 2022, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 54). On June 13, 2022, 

Plaintiff filed his opposition. (ECF No. 62).1 On July 5, 2022, Defendants filed their reply. 

(ECF No. 66).

In their reply, Defendants make arguments based on Egbert v. Boule, 142 S. Ct. 1793 

(2022), which, as Defendants point out, was decided after their motion to dismiss was filed (ECF 

No. 66, p. 1).

1 While the Court received Plaintiff’s opposition on June 13, 2022, the certificate of service states that 

Plaintiff’s opposition was served on May 29, 2022. (ECF No. 62, p. 13).

As Plaintiff has not had an opportunity to address Defendants’ arguments related to Egbert 

v. Boule, the Court will give Plaintiff an opportunity to address these arguments if he chooses to 

do so.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff has twenty-one days from the date 

of service of this order to file a sur-reply that addresses only the arguments in Defendants’ reply 

related to Egbert v. Boule if he chooses to do so.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
