IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS CLINTON, No. 2:05-cv-1600-JAM-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

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

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 22, 2014, the court ordered the parties to file status

reports in order to set this case for trial. Since then, plaintiff has filed several documents

requesting additional time and further direction as to what needs to be done. Plaintiff indicates

he does not know what the court is requesting.

A status report is simply a way for the parties to communicate with the court as to

the status of the case and their readiness for trial. As set forth in the prior order, the status reports

shall address the following information: 

1. Whether this matter is ready for trial and, if not, why not;

2. Whether a pretrial motion is contemplated and, if so, the type of motion

and the time needed to file the motion and complete the time schedule set forth in Local Rule

230;

3. A narrative statement of the facts that will be offered by oral or

documentary evidence at trial;

4. A list of all exhibits to be offered into evidence at the trial of the case;

5. A list of the names and addresses of all witnesses the party intends to call;

6. A summary of the anticipated testimony of any incarcerated witnesses;

7. The time estimated for trial;

8. Whether either party still requests trial by jury; and

9. Any other matter, not covered above, which the party desires to call to the

attention of the court.

If plaintiff does not have all of the above information, he may so indicate in the

status report. Alternatively, the parties may file a joint status report as contemplated in the local

rules. However, given the history of this case, the court will not require a joint report. The

parties are again cautioned that failure to file a status report which addresses the issues set forth

above may result in the imposition of appropriate sanctions, including dismissal of the action or

preclusion of issues or witnesses. See Local Rule 110. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s status report shall be filed and served on or before June 1, 2015;

and

2. Defendant’s status report shall be filed and served on or before July 1,

2015, regardless of whether plaintiff has filed a status report.

DATED: April 27, 2015
