due on July 28, 2006. On June 1, 2006, this court issued findings and recommendations 2

recommendations in full. On the same day, plaintiff Sherrill filed notice of change of address.

On August 8, 2006, the district court vacated the August 4, 2006 order and remanded the matter

to this court for further proceedings.

This matter was set for pretrial conference on the papers on August 18, 2006.

Plaintiff Sherrill has not filed a pretrial statement. (Cf. Order filed May 11, 2006, at n.1.) Good

cause appearing, plaintiff Sherrill will be given one additional opportunity to file a pretrial

statement and, as appropriate, a request for the attendance of inmate witnesses at trial. (See

Scheduling Order filed November 3, 2005.) Plaintiff Sherrill is cautioned that failure to timely 

file a pretrial statement will result in a recommendation that he be dismissed from this action for

lack of prosecution.

On August 11, 2006, defendants filed a request for an extension of time to file a

pretrial statement. Good cause appearing, the request will be granted. The deadline for

defendants to file a pretrial statement will be reset in this order. Pretrial conference on the papers

before the magistrate judge will also be reset. The date for jury trial will be vacated and will be

reset in the pretrial order. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff Sherrill shall file and serve a pretrial statement and any request for the

attendance of inmate witnesses at trial not later than September 29, 2006. Plaintiff Sherrill is

cautioned that failure to timely file a pretrial statement will result in a recommendation that he be

dismissed from this action for lack of prosecution. 

2. Defendants’ August 11, 2006 request for an extension of time to file a pretrial

statement is granted. Defendants shall file and serve their pretrial statement not later than

October 13, 2006.

3. Pretrial conference is continued to October 20, 2006 on the papers before the

magistrate judge.
