UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAMONT SHEPARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

BASS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:10-cv-00754-LJO-BAM PC

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANT BASS TO

NOTIFY COURT REGARDING STIPULATION

FIFTEEN DAY DEADLINE

This action is proceeding on Plaintiff’s complaint, filed April 30, 2010, against Defendant

Bass for excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment, and is currently set for jury trial

before the Honorable Lawrence J. O’Neill on December 11, 2012.

Under section 1983, Plaintiff is required to prove that the defendant (1) acted under color of

state law and (2) deprived him of rights secured by the Eighth Amendment of the United States

Constitution. Long v. County of Los Angeles, 442 F.3d 1178, 1185 (9th Cir. 2006). Generally, the

issue of whether the defendant was acting under color of law is not in dispute in prisoner cases.

Accordingly, within fifteen days from the date of service of this order, Defendant shall notify the

Court if he will stipulate that he was acting under color of state law at the time of the incident at

issue in this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: November 14, 2012 /s/ Barbara A. McAuliffe
