UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEON E. MORRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

NANGALAMA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:12-cv-1202 MCE KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel. Plaintiff filed motions to vacate 

orders issued in the last three months and to temporarily stay this action pending his return from 

his assignment to the Department of Mental Health (“DMH”). (ECF Nos. 92, 94.) Plaintiff avers 

that he was hospitalized from March 17, 2016, to June 20, 2016, and is presently awaiting transfer 

to either Vacaville or Stockton for a higher level of mental health care treatment. Plaintiff claims 

that his personal property, including his legal materials, was taken during his hospitalization, and 

such property will not be returned to him until he is transferred back from the DMH. Thus, 

plaintiff did not receive defendants’ motion, or recent court orders.

Good cause appearing, plaintiff’s motions are partially granted. The July 1, 2016 order is 

vacated, and defendants’ motion for summary judgment is denied without prejudice to its

renewal. This action is stayed for thirty days. Thirty days from the date of this order, plaintiff
