UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARY J. CRAGO,

Plaintiff,

v.

LENARD, K #0877.,

Defendant.

No. 2:13-cv-00531-TLN-EFB

ORDER

This matter is before the Court pursuant to the final pretrial conference set for Thursday, 

November 20, 2014. This matter is set for trial on January 20, 2015. However, due to a conflict 

with a criminal trial confirmed to begin on January 15, 2015 and estimated to last 2 to 3 weeks, 

the jury trial in this matter set for January 20, 2015, is hereby VACATED and RESET for January 

19, 2016, at 9:00 AM in Courtroom 2 (TLN) before District Judge Troy L. Nunley. Accordingly, 

the final pretrial conference set for Thursday, November 20, 2014 is also VACATED and RESET 

for November 19, 2015.

In reviewing the pretrial statements filed by Plaintiff Mary J. Crago (“Plaintiff”) and 

Defendant Lenard (“Defendant”), the Court notes that Plaintiff states that she would like to waive 

her right to a jury trial and would be amenable to consenting to try this matter before the 

magistrate judge. Thus, the Court hereby orders the parties to meet and confer as to whether both 

parties are willing to attend a settlement conference before the magistrate judge and whether the

parties are amenable to consenting to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge in order to have their 

matter heard on an earlier date. The parties are hereby ordered to file a joint statement with this
