UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRENELL MONSON, 

 Plaintiff,

 v.

R. MELKONIAN,

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:17-cv-00395-EPG (PC)

ORDER REQUIRING RESPONSE FROM 

FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

AND GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO

DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR 

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(ECF NO. 80)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO MAIL A 

COPY OF THIS ORDER TO THE SHERIFF 

OF FRESNO COUNTY

Trenell Monson (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner1proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He is currently confined at the 

United States Penitentiary in Lompoc, California. 

On February 26, 2020, Plaintiff filed a response to Defendant’s Rand Notice. (ECF No. 

80). Plaintiff alleges that he has not received the documents from Fresno County Sheriff’s 

Office that the Court ordered it to produce.2 Thus, Plaintiff is unable to prepare his opposition 

to Defendant’s motion for summary judgment or file his own motion for summary judgment.

Given Plaintiff’s allegation, the Court will require Fresno County Sheriff’s Office to 

respond, and will give Plaintiff additional time to file his opposition to Defendant’s motion for 

summary judgment.

 

1 Plaintiff has alleged that he was a pretrial detainee at the time of the incidents described in the 

complaint.

2 On November 20, 2019, the Court ordered Fresno County Sheriff’s Office to produce video footage and 

documents to Plaintiff within thirty days. (ECF No. 76).
