IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL B. DAVENPORT,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0413 MCE KJM P

vs.

R. MCKEAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On February 22, 2010, the court dismissed this matter because plaintiff did not

appear for trial and as a sanction for plaintiff’s failure to file a trial brief. On February 23, 2010,

plaintiff filed a document in which he indicates that he has been in Los Angeles County Jail

custody since February 4, 2010. He asks that the court stay this matter until he is released from

custody.

As indicated above, this matter has already been dismissed. Plaintiff has not

shown good cause for the court to re-open this matter because he has not provided a valid excuse

for waiting as long as he did to inform the court that he is in police custody. Also, he still has not

demonstrated any acceptable excuse for his failure to file his trial brief in a timely fashion.
