IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WAYLAND DEE KIRKLAND,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-00-1331 DFL KJM P

vs.

STRAUSS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with an action for violation of civil rights under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On September 29, 2005, the court granted plaintiff leave to file an amended pretrial statement. Plaintiff elected not to file one.

The court has reviewed plaintiff’s December 29, 2003 pretrial statement and

determined that it is unacceptable. Much of the information included in the pretrial statement

does not pertain to the only issue remaining in this case; whether defendants Strauss, Koontz and

McTernan subjected plaintiff to excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment. The

statement also generally does not reflect the outcome of decisions rendered by the court in this

case since December 29, 2003. The court therefore will require plaintiff to submit a new pretrial

statement. If plaintiff fails to file a proper pretrial statement within thirty days this action will be

dismissed under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall file

an amended pretrial statement within thirty days of this order. The pretrial statement shall

address the only remaining claim in this action; whether defendants Strauss, Koontz and

McTernan subjected plaintiff to excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment. 

Defendants shall file an amended pretrial statement within fifteen days of service of plaintiff’s

amended pretrial statement. 

DATED: November 16, 2005.
