IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THE COMMITTEE CONCERNING CASE NO. CV F 04-6121 LJO DLB

COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT, et al.,

ORDER ON DEFENSE MOTIONS AND

Plaintiffs, SCHEDULING 

 (Docs. 195, 202, 227, 226, 234.)

vs.

CITY OF MODESTO, et al., 

Defendants.

 /

On February 13, 2007, this action was reassigned from U.S. District Judge Anthony Ishii to U.S.

District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill. Pursuant to Judge Ishii’s February 8, 2007 order, plaintiffs are soon

to file a Third Amended Complaint. Pending before the Court are defendants County of Stanislaus and

Stanislaus County Sheriff’s motion for leave to amend answer (doc. 227), summary judgment motion

(doc. 226) and related ex parte application (doc. 234) and defendant City of Modesto’s summary

judgment motions (docs. 195, 202). This Court finds the defense motions improper for decision until

plaintiffs have filed their operative complaint. After plaintiffs’ operative complaint is in order, this

Court will be in position to entertain defense motions, which may be rendered moot in part by stipulation

or otherwise. As such, this Court:

1. STRIKES defendants County of Stanislaus and Stanislaus County Sheriff’s motion for

leave to amend answer (doc. 227), summary judgment motion (doc. 226) and related ex

parte application (doc. 234) and defendant City of Modesto’s summary judgment

2. DIRECTS the parties to consider resetting motion, discovery, pretrial conference and

trial dates by stipulation or motion to amend scheduled dates. Upon the parties’ joint

jointly request a status conference by telephoning (559) 499-5680; and

3. ADMONISHES the parties to comply with this Court’s standing order filed concurrently

with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
