ORDER CONCERNING

PLAINTIFF’S AVAILABILITY

Plaintiff Robert Hackworth (“Plaintiff”) is an inmate formerly in the custody of the

California Department of Corrections. The above captioned action is currently scheduled for trial

on May 25, 2010. The court has been advised that Plaintiff has been transferred to the custody of

the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department for the purpose of providing testimony in a criminal matter

currently pending there. As a result, Plaintiff was not available to telephonically attend a pretrial

conference that was scheduled for March 22, 2010. The planned duration of Plaintiff’s custody

with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is unknown at this time. The pretrial conference that

was set for March 22, 2010, has been continued to Monday, April 26, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. Trial in

this matter remains scheduled for May 25, 2010.

Because of the press of business before the court, the court is concerned that all parties

cooperate to secure Plaintiff’s presence as needed to maintain the trial date and other hearing
