IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEWAYNE MCGEE RICHARDSON, No. 2:04-cv-00393-MCE-GGH-P

Plaintiff, 

v. ORDER

R.L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants. 

 /

This action is set for pretrial conference March 25, 2010,

and jury trial April 26, 2010. On February 16, 2010, defendants

filed a request for leave to file a supplemental summary judgment

motion and a request to modify the scheduling order. Defendants

also request that the court reset the trial date due to defense

counsel’s work schedule and upcoming paternity leave.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals specifically remanded

this action for trial. For that reason, the request for leave to

file a supplemental summary judgment motion is denied. The

request to modify the scheduling order is also denied.

Any additional delay in bringing a 2004 case to trial will not

serve the interests of justice. Evidence will become stale and

witness memories will continue to fade. In addition, all parties

recently argued the merits of this case before the Ninth Circuit

so those arguments and the facts of the case should be memorable

to everyone involved.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendants’ February

16, 2010, motion for leave to file a supplemental summary

judgment motion and to modify the scheduling order (No. 61) is

DENIED. The dates and times set for the Final Pretrial

Conference (March 25, 2010 at 2:00 PM) and Jury Trial (April 26,

2010 at 9:00 AM) are confirmed.

Dated: February 25, 2010
