vs.

THEO WHITE, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Following the June 18, 2007, trial confirmation hearing, the court ordered the

parties to file amended pretrial statements reflecting the issues that will go to trial. This action

will go to trial as to the following claim for damages regarding plaintiff’s ability to practice his

Wiccan religion while housed at California State Prison-Sacramento (CSP-Sac) from 1990-1997:

1) access to and the ability to use religious articles including tarot cards, the Wiccan Bible,

incense, candles, wands and altars; 2) the ability to practice group worship; and 3) access to a

spiritual leader. This action will also go to trial on plaintiff’s claims for injunctive relief

regarding Pleasant Valley State Prison as to the same three issues.

pretrial statement addresses claims regarding his ability to practice his Wiccan religion at CSPSac after 1997 and while housed at Mule Creek State Prison. Because plaintiff’s pretrial

statement does not clearly address the claims on which this action is set for trial, plaintiff is

directed to file a second amended pretrial statement. Plaintiff’s second amended pretrial

statement shall address only the claims set forth above in the first paragraph of this order.

On July 9, 2007, defendants filed a request for extension of time to file their

amended pretrial statement. Because plaintiff is ordered to file a second amended pretrial

statement, this request is moot.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within thirty days of the date of

this order, plaintiff shall file a second amended pretrial statement; defendants’ amended pretrial

statement is due within fifteen days thereafter.

DATED: July 30, 2007.
