UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON LATRELL THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. WILBER, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:10-cv-00006-SKO (PC)

ORDER VACATING DEFENDANTS’ 

PRETRIAL STATEMENT DEADLINE 

AND TRIAL CONFIRMATION HEARING, 

SETTING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

HEARING, AND REQUIRING ATTORNEY 

STEVE WHITWORTH TO PERSONALLY 

APPEAR

Date: April 28, 2015

Time: 10:30 a.m.

Courtroom: 7

This case is set for a telephonic trial confirmation hearing on May 6, 2015, and jury trial on 

June 2, 2015. For the third time, Steve Whitworth, Esquire, counsel for Plaintiff, has violated a 

court order by failing to file a pretrial statement. (Docs. 130, 131, 136.) The order to show cause

why counsel should not be sanctioned, filed on March 23, 2015, remains pending, as discharge 

was contingent upon compliance with the April 20, 2015, deadline. (Docs. 132, 136.)

Accordingly, based on Plaintiff’s failure to file a pretrial statement on or before April 20, 

2015, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1. The deadline for Defendants to file their pretrial statement, set for April 27, 2015, 

is VACATED;

2. The telephonic trial confirmation hearing set for May 6, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. is 

VACATED;
