UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM P. GARCIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLARK, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:10-cv-00447 LJO DLB PC

ORDER RESCHEDULING TRIAL 

CONFIRMATION HEARING AND TRIAL 

DATE

Plaintiff William P. Garcia (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se in this 

civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on March 12, 2010. On October 

14, 2013, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On February 

4, 2015, Defendants’ motion was granted, thereby dismissing the case.

Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and the appeal was processed to the Ninth Circuit Court of 

Appeals. The parties engaged in the Ninth Circuit’s mediation program and agreed that Plaintiff’s 

argument on appeal concerning the viability of his claims for damages was meritorious. The parties 

agreed to resolve the appeal by stipulating to dismissal of the appeal and filing a joint motion to 

vacate the judgment and modify the order granting the motion to dismiss in order to allow Plaintiff’s 

claim for damages based on allegations of past misconduct to continue in the District Court. On 

May 10, 2016, the parties filed a joint motion to vacate judgment and modify the order granting the 

motion to dismiss. The motion was granted on May 18, 2016, and the February 4, 2015, order

adopting the Findings and Recommendation was modified. Defendants’ motion to dismiss was 

denied in part to allow Plaintiff’s claim for monetary damages to proceed based on allegations of 

past misconduct.

On July 8, 2013, the date set for trial was vacated pending settlement conferences and 

subsequent proceedings. Those matters having been resolved, the Court finds rescheduling of the 

trial confirmation hearing and trial date in this action necessary at this time.
