UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT QUINCY THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

LT. M. STAINER,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:02-CV-05550-REC-LJO-P

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO SERVE

PRE-TRIAL STATEMENT ON

DEFENDANT’S COUNSEL IF HE HAS NOT

ALREADY DONE SO AND TO FILE AN

AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

WITH COURT

(Doc. 74) 

Plaintiff Robert Quincy Thomas (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter is currently set

for jury trial on January 10, 2006. A telephonic trial confirmation hearing is scheduled for December

1, 2005. Pursuant to the court’s order of September 2, 2005, plaintiff filed a pre-trial statement on

October 31, 2005. Although plaintiff attached a certificate of service to his pre-trial statement, it

does not state that the pre-trial statement was served on defendant’s counsel. Only the court is listed

on the certificate.

Plaintiff was previously informed by the court in an order filed on September 8, 2003, that

all of his filings must include a certificate of service stating that the filing was served on defendant’s

counsel. (Doc. 42.) This instruction was also set forth in the court’s First Informational Order, filed

June 26, 2002. (Doc. 6, ¶ 4.)
