UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAYNE MEREDITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. OVERLEY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:12-cv-00455-MJS (PC) 

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST TO ADVANCE TRIAL DATE

(ECF No. 116)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds on Plaintiff’s Eighth 

Amendment conditions of confinement claim against Defendants Overley, Benevidez, 

and Gamboa. (ECF No. 8.)

Before the Court is Defendants’ August 31, 2015 motion to advance the trial date 

from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015. (ECF No. 116.) 

The Court appreciates the reason for the request, but is unable to accommodate it 

given the number and nature of matters already on its September 30, 2015 calendar. 

The Court will, however, do everything reasonable within its power to complete trial in 

this case in one day, on October 1, 2015. The parties should be prepared to stay as late 

as reasonably necessary to accomplish that.
