UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENNIS LAMAR JAMES, JR., 

Plaintiff,

v.

HAYWARD POLICE DEPARTMENT;

et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 13-1092 SI (pr)

SCHEDULING ORDER

In this action, plaintiff contends that he was unlawfully arrested and subjected to

excessive force by members of the Hayward Police Department on March 23, 2011. In a

separate order filed today, the court has lifted the stay of this action that has been in place since

July 1, 2014. See Docket # 26. It is now time to resume efforts toward the resolution of

plaintiff's claims. 

At the time this action was stayed, plaintiff had not yet filed an opposition to defendants'

motion for summary judgment. When it issued the stay, the court dismissed defendants' motion

for summary judgment without prejudice to defendants filing a new motion after the stay is

lifted. Docket # 26 at 3. In a footnote, the court observed: "Defendants urge in their motion that

there is only 'a single excessive force claim.' Docket # 18 at 2. The order of service plainly

identified both an excessive force claim and an unlawful arrest claim. Defendants should

address both claims in any renewed motion for summary judgment." Docket # 26 at 3 n.1. The

court now sets the following schedule for defendants to file a new motion for summary

judgment:
