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 RE PARTIES’ STIPULATION 

AS TO CASE STATUS

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

proceedings because Plaintiff Dominic Hanna's ("Plaintiff") mental competence had become an 

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

case. The parties' request to stay the case was granted on February 4, 2015, and the case has been 

stayed since that time.

On May 8, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation regarding the status of the case. The parties 

indicated that the Fresno County Superior Court found Plaintiff competent to stand trial in the 

criminal proceedings before that court. (Doc. 57.) The parties agreed that Plaintiff will serve his 

Rule 26 initial disclosures by June 8, 2015, and Plaintiff would file a request to discharge 

Plaintiff's guardian ad litem, Kathy Henderson, as Plaintiff was determined to be competent.

Defendants anticipate their counsel will be substituted in May 2015. Due to the need for 

new counsel to become familiar with the case, Defendants will serve their Rule 26 initial 

disclosures by June 8, 2015.

report by no later than June 12, 2015, indicating whether the schedule requires modification and, if

3. By no later than June 12, 2015, the parties shall file a status report indicating 

whether new scheduling deadlines are necessary due to the 3 month stay of 

litigation, and if so, they shall propose new scheduling deadlines.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
