IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL C. JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

EL CERRITO POLICE DEPARTMENT,

CHI LEE, and MARIO GUZMAN

Defendants. /

No. C 15-02207 WHA

ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR LEAVE TO FILE MOTION

FOR RECONSIDERATION AND

REFERRING CASE TO

MAGISTRATE JUDGE FOR

MEDIATION

An order denied defendants’ motion for summary judgment and stayed the case pending

until four weeks from the date an attorney was appointed to represent plaintiff (Dkt. No. 36). 

Plaintiff was appointed counsel on October 6 (Dkt. No. 37). The case remains stayed, so

defendants’ motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration is DENIED. This is without

prejudice to whether such a motion will be entertained once the stay is lifted. 

Defendants should note, however, that if reconsideration is later granted, the Court

would likely give plaintiff, who had been proceeding pro se, the opportunity to file a

supplemental opposition with a sworn declaration now that he has counsel.

Finally, this matter is hereby REFERRED to a randomly-assigned magistrate judge for

mediation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 17, 2016.
