UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OAKLAND DIVISION 

TOMAS LOPEZ MENEWEATHER, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

B. POWELL, et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No: C 07-4204 SBA (PR) 

ORDER LIFTING STAY; 

REOPENING ACTION; AND 

SETTING CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

This prisoner civil rights case was previously scheduled for trial on September 17, 

2012. Plaintiff submitted requests to continue the trial date due to his medical issues. Dkts. 

162, 173. The Court referred the requests to Magistrate Judge Nandor Vadas, who 

recommended continuing the trial date. Dkt. 185. In response, Defendants requested that 

the Court defer consideration of the rescheduling of the trial date and stay the action on the 

ground that they were unable to contact Plaintiff, who had been moved from California 

State Prison-Sacramento to the California Health Care Facility in Stockton. The Court 

granted Defendants’ request and stayed the action. Dkt. 187. 

Plaintiff has since requested that the Court lift the stay and reopen this action. Dkts. 

190, 194. Meanwhile, Defendants have proposed that the Court set a Case Management 

Conference to discuss the further handing and scheduling of this action. Dkt. 193. 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to REOPEN the case file and to restore this 

action to the Court’s active civil docket.

to consenting to the jurisdiction of a Magistrate Judge of this Court (and identifying a 

particular Magistrate Judge acceptable to all parties). Defendants’ counsel shall be 

responsible for filing the Joint Case Management Statement and setting up the conference 

call. At the date and time indicated above, Defendants’ counsel shall call the Court with all 

parties on the line. Defendants’ counsel shall contact the Court’s Courtroom Deputy at
