UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEAN-PIERRE K. THOMAS.

Plaintiff,

v.

GARCIA, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:08-cv-00689-JLT (PC)

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION 

FOR STATUS OF MOTION TO SET ASIDE 

VERDICT AND FOR A NEW TRIAL 

(Doc. 232)

Plaintiff Jean-Pierre K. Thomas (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A jury trial was held in 

this matter between July 23 and 25, 2013, in the U.S. District Court in Bakersfield, California, 

which returned a defense verdict, resulting in entry of judgment and case closure on July 26, 

2013. 

On December 22, 2014, Plaintiff filed a document entitled "Status of pending motion to 

set aside the verdict and order a new trial." (Doc. 232.) It appears this document was filed with 

this Court in error as it is directed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Likewise, the 

attachment to the motion, which is another motion purportedly filed in 2013, was directed to the 

Ninth Circuit never filed in this Court.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for status, filed on
