FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VAHAN JALADIAN, No. CIV S-04-1304-LKK-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

CRIBBS ,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 8, 2007, this court issued Findings and Recommendations (Doc.

51), recommending that this action be dismissed, without prejudice, for lack of prosecution and

failure to comply with court rules and orders. The basis for this recommendation was plaintiff’s

failure to serve and file a pretrial statement by January 5, 2007, pursuant to an order filed

September 14, 2006 (Doc. 48). In that order, plaintiff was warned that failure to comply may

result in dismissal of this action. 

Plaintiff has filed objections to the Findings and Recommendations. Plaintiff’s

objections indicate he is having difficulty complying with the court’s orders due to his lack of

legal knowledge and the prison’s reassignment of plaintiff to a different facility yard. In so far

as plaintiff’s objections indicate he may be having difficulty completing his pretrial statement

due to being moved, the court will construe his objections as a request for additional time. The

court will vacate the Findings and Recommendations filed on June 8, 2007, and plaintiff will

have 60 days from the date of this order to comply with this court’s September 14, 2006 order. 

Plaintiff shall file and serve a pretrial statement and any motions necessary to obtain the

attendance of witnesses at trial on or before October 15, 2007. Plaintiff is again advised that

failure to file a pretrial statement may result in the imposition of sanctions, including dismissal

of this action. 

Defendant filed a pretrial statement on January 22, 2007. Once the court receives

plaintiff’s pretrial statement, the court will review the statements and issue a pretrial order. A

trial date will be set in the pretrial order. Plaintiff is cautioned again that the failure to file a

pretrial statement within the time provided by this order may result in dismissal of the entire

action. See Local Rule 11-110. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations filed June 8, 2007 (Doc. 51) are

vacated;

2. Plaintiff shall file and serve a pretrial statement and any motions

necessary to obtain the attendance of witnesses at trial on or before October 15, 2007; and

3. After receipt of plaintiff’s pretrial statement, the court will issue a pretrial

order and set a trial date.

DATED: August 15, 2007.
