Time: 10:00 a.m.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner confined in Wasco State Prison

who is proceeding pro se with an action concerning alleged civil

right violations pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter has

been referred to the Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(b) and Local Rules 72-302 and 72-304. Defendants have

answered the complaint. 

On February 24, 2005, a scheduling conference was held, and

Plaintiff was not telephonically present. A scheduling order

issued on February 28, 2005. On April 12, 2005, Plaintiff filed a

motion to reschedule a joint scheduling conference for May 15,

2005. The Court takes judicial notice of the fact that May 15,

2005, is a Sunday, a date on which neither a hearing on a motion

nor a scheduling conference may be held. The Court thus finds

that Plaintiff’s motion must necessarily be denied. Because of

this, there is no need for any briefing or input from Defendant 

on the motion.

However, in the interest of the efficient administration of

justice and fairness to the parties, the Court will schedule an

informal telephonic status conference for the purpose of

considering the need for further scheduling of the case. The

parties need not and should not submit any statements or other

documentation in advance of the conference. Plaintiff is to be

telephonically present at the conference.

 Defendant’s counsel shall set up the conference call and

shall initiate the call to (559) 498-7325 on Tuesday, May 24,

2005, at 10:00 a.m. After this order is filed and served on the

parties, Court staff will send a courtesy copy of this order to

the appropriate prison official at Wasco State Prison and will

telephone the appropriate prison official so that prison staff

are aware of the need for Plaintiff to participate in the

hearing. If Defendant’s counsel needs assistance or has questions

concerning the conference call, counsel may contact the clerk’s

office at (559) 498-7483 and ask to be transferred to the pro se

writ clerk.

Accordingly, it IS ORDERED that

1) This matter is set for an informal telephonic status

conference on May 24, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. before the undersigned

at (559) 498-7325; and
