UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FEDERICO HERNANDEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. HERNANDEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:13-cv-01625-MJS (PC)

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

RESPOND TO DEFENDANTS’ REQUEST 

FOR CLARIFICATION

JULY 27, 2015 DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds against Defendants 

Hernandez, Zambrano, Clark, Rodriguez, and Martin on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment 

excessive force claim. Trial is set for August 11, 2015. (ECF No. 86.)

Before the Court is Defendants’ July 21, 2015 request for clarification of the 

pretrial order. (ECF No. 120.) Specifically, Defendants state that they wish to use as 

demonstrative evidence photographs of the dining hall where the incident at issue 

occurred. The photographs Defendants wish to utilize were disclosed to Plaintiff’s 

counsel simultaneously with Defendants’ request to the Court. The use of such visual 

aids was not addressed in the Court’s pretrial order.

In light of the foregoing, Plaintiff is HEREBY ORDERED to file, by July 27, 2015,

objections, if any he has, to Defendants’ proposed use of demonstrative evidence. The
