UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GEORGE E. JACOBS IV,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

C/O J. M. MARTINEZ, C/O GERMAN, and

C/O NORTHCUTT,

 Defendants.

1:06-cv-01280-AWI-EPG-PC

ORDER FOR DEFENDANTS TO 

RESPOND NO LATER THAN 

DECEMBER 9, 2015

George E. Jacobs IV ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis with this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case is scheduled for a 

telephonic trial confirmation hearing on January 11, 2016, and for trial on February 23, 2016. 

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s Notice filed on November 25, 2015 (Doc. No. 172), 

in which he informs the Court that he was critically injured during a prison riot on November 

13, 2015. Plaintiff’s injuries appear severe enough to call into question the viability of the 

currently set trial and pre-trial conference dates. Given Plaintiff’s description of his physical 

injuries, and before the Court takes any further action, it is appropriate to obtain a response 

from Defendants. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants shall file a response to 

Plaintiff’s Notice, including their assessment of the viability of proceeding with the currently 

set dates and deadlines scheduled for this case, as soon as possible but no later than December 

9, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 2, 2015
