UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT QUINCY THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

LT. M. STAINER,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:02-CV-05550-REC-LJO-P

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S

REQUEST FOR A CONTINUANCE OF THE

TRIAL DATE

(Docs 80 and 82)

Telephonic Trial Setting

Conference: February 7, 2006, at 8:45 a.m. in

Courtroom 8 (LJO)

This matter is set for telephonic trial confirmation hearing on February 7, 2006, at 8:45 a.m.

before the undersigned and jury trial before the Honorable Robert E. Coyle on March 7, 2006, at 9:00

a.m. On November 30, 2005, Defendant’s counsel sought a continuance of the trial date because she

is scheduled to commence a trial on the same day before the Honorable Oliver W. Wanger. Plaintiff

filed an opposition to the motion on December 9, 2005.

Plaintiff’s objection to a continuance is noted. However, requiring Defendant’s counsel to

commence two trials at the same time would be to require the impossible. The other case to be tried

on the same date, CV-F-97-5767 OWW DLB P Fulton v. Madruga, was set for trial on that date on

August 5, 2005, and is an older case. Prior to issuance of this order, the Court confirmed the status

of Fulton v. Madruga, and at this time the trial in Fulton is scheduled to commence on March 7,

2006. Accordingly, there is good cause to continue the trial date in this case.
