UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT E. STEARNS,

Plaintiff,

v.

FLORES, et. al.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 00-6331 AWI LJO P 

ORDER VACATING SECOND SCHEDULING

ORDER ISSUED OCTOBER 5, 2005 

(Doc. 324.) 

Plaintiff Scott E. Stearns (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On August 30, 2005, the District Court adopted Findings and Recommendations that

Plaintiff’s Due Process claim against all Defendants (concerning gang validation) be dismissed

and that the action proceed to trial on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment Claim. (Docs. 311, 312.) 

This action is proceeding on Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, filed April 27, 2001, on the

Eighth Amendment Failure to Protect claim against Defendant Flores. Generally, following the

resolution of a Motion for Summary Judgment, the Court sets the matter for trial on any

remaining claims and Defendants. The Court issued such Order on October 5, 2005. However,

it appears that Defendant Flores filed a formal Answer for the first time on September 9, 2005.
