UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOMINIC HANNA,

Plaintiff,

v.

FRESNO COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-00142-LJO-SKO

ORDER STAYING LITIGATION

On January 29, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation requesting that the Court enter a stay of 

proceedings. The parties agree that Plaintiff Dominic Hanna's mental competence has become an 

issue in a separate Fresno County Superior Court case which will impact the proceedings in this 

case. 

Having reviewed the parties' stipulation, the Court grants the request to suspend further 

litigation in this matter until the Fresno County Superior Court determines plaintiff Dominic 

Hanna’s mental competence.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. This litigation is STAYED until the Fresno County Superior Court renders a 

determination as to Plaintiff Hanna's competence; 

2. Within five (5) days of the Fresno County Superior Court’s determination of 

plaintiff Hanna’s competence, plaintiff’s counsel shall inform defendants’ counsel of the 

determination;
