 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN RAY DYNES, 

Plaintiff,

v.

C/O JUAN MEDINA and 

C/O DAVID WILLIAMS,

Defendants.

 /

1:08-cv-00136-GSA-PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR

COURT TO CORRECT THE RECORD 

(Doc. 139.)

John Ray Dynes (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the complaint commencing

this action on January 28, 2008. (Doc. 1.) The case proceeded to jury trial on April 14, 2010,

and judgment for defendants was entered on April 15, 2010. (Doc. 127.) 

On April 29, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion for the court to correct the record to reflect

that Plaintiff’s exhibits PX-100, PX-101, and PX-104 were admitted into evidence during the

trial. (Doc. 139.)

 The court has reviewed the record and finds as follows. During Plaintiff’s trial, the

court admitted into evidence five exhibits, JX-300, JX-301, PX-101, PX-103, and DX-C. 

(Minutes, Docs. 125, 126.) Exhibits JX-300 and JX-301 are joint exhibits which were admitted

at the trial by both Plaintiff and Defendants; Exhibits PX-101 and PX-103 are exhibits admitted

only by Plaintiff; and Exhibit DX-C is an exhibit admitted only by Defendants. 

1

 It is the court’s practice to use the “JX” designation for an exhibit that is jointly admitted by both sides in

1

an action. (See Second Scheduling Order, Doc. 39.) The “PX” designation is used for Plaintiff’s exhibits, and the

“DX” designation is used for Defendant’s exhibits. Id.

The court has conducted an in camera review of the five exhibits admitted during

Plaintiff’s trial. Exhibits JX-300 and JX-301 are the same documents as Plaintiff’s exhibits PX100 and PX-102. PX-103 was admitted into evidence. PX-104 was not admitted into evidence.

In summary, the court’s record shows that Plaintiff admitted four exhibits into evidence at

trial, PX-100(JX-300), PX-101, PX-102(JX-301), and PX-103. Exhibit PX-104 was not

admitted. Therefore, the corrections requested by Plaintiff are not necessary.

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff’s motion for the court to correct the record is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
