crisis unit on suicide watch when he is transferred to CSP - Corcoran to attend trial in this matter. It appears that at the time of filing the motion, Plaintiff had not yet received the Court's order vacating the trial date. The trial date of May 5, 2009 has been vacated. The order and writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum commanding the attendance of Plaintiff at trial has also been vacated by court order, a copy of which was sent to Salinas Valley State Prison. There is no indication that Plaintiff will be transferred to CSP-Corcoran. Plaintiff may re-file his motion if and when this matter is reset for trial. Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff's motion, filed April 27, 2009, is disregarded as premature.

IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: 3b142a
