IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERALD WORMLY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-2404 MCE CMK P

vs.

A. NORIEGA, et al.,

Defendants.

 / ORDER

Plaintiff brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This

proceeding was referred to the undersigned by Local Rule 72-302 by the authority of 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1). Currently pending before the court is defendants’ July 24, 2006, request to be relieved

of the requirement to file a pre-trial conference statement. In support of their request, defendants

note that plaintiff failed to file a pre-trial statement and that plaintiff appears to have stopped

prosecuting this action. Good cause appearing, the court relieves defendants from having to file a

pre-trial statement, and vacates the jury trial set for October 25, 2006. 

The court notes that on September 10, 2004, plaintiff lodged a notice of voluntary

dismissal. The court will grant plaintiff’s motion for a voluntary dismissal unless either plaintiff

or defendants show cause, in writing, within ten days of the date that this order is signed, why

voluntary dismissal is not appropriate.
