UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHEAL KLEIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

MONTOYA, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-01677-LJO-SKO PC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST FOR RELIEF FROM LOCAL 

RULE 230(l)

(Doc. 45)

Plaintiff, Michael Klein, who is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on October 17, 2013 while he was incarcerated at 

Avenal State Prison. This action involves past conditions of confinement while Plaintiff was at

Avenal State Prison. Thus, Local Rule 230(l) applies to this action. 

On December 4, 2015, Defendants filed a request for relief from Local Rule 230(l) citing 

simply that Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. (Doc. 45.) Defendants cite neither legal authority 

nor any justification for being relieved from Local Rule 230(l), and the Court finds none. As such, 

Local Rule 230(l) shall continue to apply to this case. Hunt v. County of Orange, 672 F.3d 606, 

616 (9th Cir. 2012) (district courts have broad discretion to manage course of litigation); U.S. v. 

Batiste, 868 F.2d 1089, 1091 n.4 (9th Cir. 1989) (district courts have broad discretion to manage 

calendars).

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED, that Defendants’ request for relief from Local 

Rule 230(l), filed on December 4, 2015, is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
