IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THEON OWENS,

Plaintiff,

v.

DD. BANUELOS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-CV-1683-MCE-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court is plaintiff’s motion for a stay of proceedings. See

ECF No. 18. Also before the Court is plaintiff’s motion to consolidate, see ECF No. 21, which 

will be addressed separately. 

In his motion to stay proceedings, plaintiff states that he has been transferred to the 

California Health Care Facility for mental health treatment. See id. According to plaintiff, his 

stay is expected to be short. See id. Because plaintiff does not anticipate an extended stay due to 

mental health treatment, the Court declines to stay the proceedings in their entirety. Rather, the 

Court will grant plaintiff an extension of time to comply with the District Judge’s February 19, 

2020, order, see ECF No. 15, requiring plaintiff to pay the filing fees for this action in full.
