UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOHN PHILIP MONCRIEF, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-0414 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 Currently before the court is the parties’ stipulation to extend the time for plaintiff to 

oppose defendants’ motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 90. In the motion, plaintiff’s 

counsel states that irreconcilable differences have developed between counsel and plaintiff that 

make representation impossible under the Rules of Professional Responsibility. Id. at 1. Counsel 

intends to file a motion to withdraw and requests to stay the proceedings so that plaintiff can 

retain new counsel or continue in pro se. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The August 31, 2016 hearing on defendants’ motion for summary judgment is vacated. 

2. All briefing on defendants’ motion for summary judgment is stayed pending resolution 

of counsel’s forthcoming motion to withdraw, at which time new deadlines will be set.

judgment will resume without delay and no further extensions to file an opposition will be 

granted. 

4. The October 20, 2016 pretrial conference, December 12, 2016 trial, and pretrial
