IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL B. DAVENPORT,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0413 MCE KJM P

vs.

R. MCKEAN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On January 14, 2010, the court issued its pretrial order and set this case for trial on

February 22, 2010. Defendants object to the trial date. The court has reviewed the entire record

in this matter, as well as the record in Marshall v. Castro, CIV S-04-1657 AK P, in which

defense counsel in this case also serves as defense counsel. The court notes that the trial

originally scheduled to begin February 22 in Marshall has now been continued until October

2010. Although two substitutions of counsel in this case were approved recently, the

experienced counsel thereby substituted into the case for certain defendants was substituted in

representing other defendants more than two months ago. While the other defense counsel,

representing defendant Braida, indicates he has depositions “throughout the month of February,”

he has not provided specific dates indicating he is unavailable for the three-day trial

contemplated here. Considering the record as a whole, the court does not find good cause to

continue trial in this matter which has been pending for nearly six years. The objection to the

pretrial order filed by defendants on January 19, 2009 is overruled. 

DATED: January 27, 2010.
