UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

The Court held the mandatory scheduling conference on November 5, 2018. (Doc. 34) Mr. 

Raymond failed to appear at the hearing. However, the Court was provided by defense counsel, a letter 

from Mr. Raymond’s doctor, dated November 1, 2018, in which the doctor reported that Mr. Raymond 

was “under [the doctor’s] care,” and was “unable to travel at this time” to his hearing “in court in 

Fresno, CA on November 5, 2018.” It appears that, for whatever reason, Mr. Raymond believed his 

hearing was in Fresno; it was not. Thus, the letter fails to provide sufficient information for the Court 

to understand Mr. Raymond’s plans related to this case, whether he is physically capable of proceeding

or, even, appearing in court in Bakersfield—his city of residence. Consequently, the Court ORDERS:

1. No later than November 30, 2018, Mr. Raymond SHALL file a status report detailing 

his intentions related to this case, including: 1.) whether he intends to prosecute this action; and, 2) 

whether he is physically capable of proceeding in this action. If he is not physically capable of 

proceeding at this time, he SHALL provide a confidential report from his doctor explaining his medical

IT IS SO ORDERED.
