ORDER

15

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s “Motion for Delay,” in which Plaintiff seeks a stay of

16

this action because he “stopped eating or drinking anything” to protest his confinement in

17

lockdown. (Doc. 27.) Since the filing of the motion, however, Plaintiff has demonstrated an

18

ability to continue to participate in this and other actions. (See Docs. 32, 33; case No. 10-cv-

19

1571-PGR-SPL; 05-cv-1159-PGR-SPL). His motion for a stay is therefore denied.

20

Accordingly,

21

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

22

(1) The reference to the Magistrate Judge is withdrawn as to Plaintiff’s Motion for

23

Delay (Doc. 27).

24

(2) Plaintiff’s Motion for Delay (Doc. 27) is denied.

25

DATED this 27th day of June, 2012.
