 Defendants.

Case No. 1: 11-cv-0068-AWI-MJS (PC)

ORDER SETTING EVIDENTIARY 

HEARING

 9:30 A.M. 

 JUNE 16, 2016

 COURTROOM 6

 FRESNO

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

rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 9, 2015, the 

undersigned issued findings and recommendations to, inter alia, deny Defendant 

Bondoc’s August 6, 2015, motion for summary judgment on exhaustion grounds. (ECF 

Nos. 77, 113.) Upon consideration of the parties’ evidence, the Court recommended 

that the motion be denied because there existed a dispute of material fact as to whether 

Plaintiff submitted a timely grievance. 

On January 28, 2016, the Honorable Anthony W. Ishii adopted the findings and

recommendations in full, and referred the matter back to the undersigned to conduct a 

hearing regarding exhaustion, specifically to determine whether the May 6, 2006 

grievance at issue was submitted as alleged by Plaintiff and in conformity with the thenexisting CDCR policies. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that an evidentiary hearing be held at 

9:30 A.M., Thursday, June 16, 2016, in Courtroom 6 of this Court. The Court will make 

arrangements for Plaintiff to appear in person. At the hearing, the Court will take 

evidence and hear testimony regarding the May 6, 2006 grievance allegedly submitted 

by Plaintiff, and will determine whether Plaintiff submitted it as alleged and whether it 

was procedurally proper. The parties shall be prepared to, and shall, present all relevant 

evidence pertaining to that issue at the hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
