UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LEE THIEL PAYNE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MARTIN, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-1970-TLN-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On May 30, 2014, the court directed plaintiff to file a pretrial statement within 30 

days. ECF No. 73. On June 25, 2014, the court granted plaintiff a 45-day extension of time to 

file his pretrial statement. ECF No. 75. On July 1, 2014, plaintiff filed a document purporting to 

be a pretrial statement. ECF No. 77. That filing, however, fails to comply with the court’s order 

or this court’s Local Rules. For example, plaintiff does not identify which facts he disputes, and 

which facts he does not dispute. He also fails to clearly indicate whether he has any exhibits or 

witnesses to present at trial. Without this information, defendant cannot properly prepare his own 

pretrial statement. 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff’s “pretrial statement” (ECF No. 77) is disregarded.

2. Plaintiff shall file a pretrial statement in accordance with the court’s orders and the 

Local Rules within 30 days from the date of this order. Plaintiff is again cautioned 

that failure to file a pretrial statement in accordance with this order may result in the 

imposition of sanctions, including the exclusion of witnesses or exhibits at trial, or 

dismissal of this action. 

3. Defendant shall file a pretrial statement not later than thirty days after the filing of 

plaintiff’s statement. 

DATED: July 3, 2014.
