Civil No. 05cv1705-LAB(NLS)

ORDER RE: SCHEDULING

K. Jamel Walker and Dale R. Hurd (“Plaintiffs”) brought this suit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section

1983 challenging the conditions of their confinement, namely, the prison’s use of fluorescent lighting in

their cells 24 hours a day, a practice they allege deprives them of adequate sleep. [Doc. No. 1.] On

October 24, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 59] Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), which is set for hearing before this Court on November 27,

2006 for purposes of preparation of a Report & Recommendation. Plaintiffs’ Opposition to the

Motion to Dismiss is due on or before November 13, 2006. Because the motion may result in the

dismissal of a substantial portion of the complaint, the Court will DEFER issuing a scheduling order

regulating discovery and all other pretrial proceedings until the Motion to Dismiss is resolved. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 26, 2006
