UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JEREMY JAMISON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

BAILLIE, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:10-cv-124-KJM-EFB P 

ORDER AFTER HEARING ON 

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO SEVER 

CLAIMS AND DEFENDANTS 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 11, 2015, this action was on calendar for hearing on defendants’ 

motion to sever claims and defendants. Both parties appeared telephonically. Attorney Kevin 

Schwin appeared on behalf of plaintiff; Deputy Attorney General David Carrasco appeared on 

behalf of defendants. As stated on the record, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Defendants’ motion to sever claims and defendants (ECF No. 205) is granted to the 

extent that plaintiff’s claims against defendants Garza and Rodriguez are severed 

from this action and shall proceed in a new action, with the statute of limitations held 

in abeyance. See DirecTV, Inc. v. Leto, 467 F.3d 842, 846 (3d Cir. 2006) (claims that 

are severed rather than dismissed may continue in a separate suit so that they will not 

be time-barred). All dates in the court’s April 7, 2014 scheduling order (ECF No. 

203) remain in effect.
