UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Perry C. Blair is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On February 16, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for the Court to conduct a pretrial/scheduling 

conference pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26. Plaintiff’s motion must be denied.

As stated in the Court’s First Informational Order issued July 30, 2014, “the Court will issue an 

order opening discovery and setting deadlines for completing discovery, amending the pleadings, and 

filing dispositive motions. No discovery may be initiated until the Court issues a discovery order or 

otherwise orders that discovery begin.” (ECF No. 4, Order at 4:16-18.)

In this case, Defendants filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss on February 9, 2016, and 

therefore a discovery and scheduling order will not issue unless and until an answer is filed by 

Defendants. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for a pretrial/scheduling conference is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
