UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAYNE MONTGOMERY,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. CULLUM, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:22-cv-1156 KJM KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. For the reasons stated herein, defendants’ request to file a status report on or 

before April 16, 2024, is granted. 

On July 18, 2023, the court granted defendants’ request to stay this action because the 

pending criminal battery charges against plaintiff concerning defendants Pesce and Culum were 

intertwined with plaintiff’s excessive force claims against defendants. (ECF No. 28.) The court 

ordered defendants to file bi-monthly status reports addressing the status of the criminal charges 

pending against plaintiff in Amador County. (Id.)

On September 7, 2023, defendants filed a status report requesting leave from their bimonthly obligation to file status reports. (ECF No. 29.) On September 27, 2023, the court 

granted this request. (ECF No. 30.) The court ordered defendants to file a status report on or 

before February 16, 2024. (Id.)

Defendants filed a status report on February 8, 2024. (ECF No. 32.) Defendants state that 

plaintiff’s previous trial date of February 2, 2024 was vacated in Amador County Superior Court 

after plaintiff’s attorney moved for a continuance. (Id. at 2.) Defendants state that plaintiff is 

presently pending a Trial Readiness Conference on March 8, 2024, and trial has not yet been reset. (Id.) Defendants request until April 16, 2024, to file their next status report. (Id.) 

Good cause appearing, defendants’ request to file their next status report on or before 

April 16, 2024, is granted.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the stay in this action remains in effect; 

defendants shall file a status report addressing the status of the criminal charges against plaintiff 

in Amador County on or before April 16, 2024. 

Dated: February 12, 2024
