ORDER SCHEDULING EVIDENTIARY

HEARING

Date: August 27, 2008

Time: 1:30 p.m.

Ctrm: 4 (LJO)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Defendant Dr. D. Rexin is represented in this action by Catherine Woodbridge Guess, Esq., of the

Office of the Attorney General.

On August 20, 2008, defendant filed a motion for reconsideration of the order granting

plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. (Doc. 171.) Defendant’s motion was brought on the grounds

that the facts asserted by plaintiff in his motion for reconsideration filed August 11, 2008,

misrepresented to the court his access to law library facilities. Defendant also claims that at no time

between May 1, 2008, and June 16, 2008 (the date plaintiff’s pretrial statement was due) was

plaintiff denied access to the prison law library or subject to lockdown. This issue goes to the heart

of why the Court granted the Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration.

Trial in this action is scheduled for August 27, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. In light of defendant’s
