ORDER DIRECTING COUNSEL TO PROVIDE
STATUS OF PLAINTIFF’S FILE BY NOVEMBER
6, 2015
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO
SERVE ORDER ON COUNSEL

Plaintiff Troas Barnett (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in this civil

15
16

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the

17

Magistrate Judge in this matter. (Plaintiff’s consent, ECF No. 9; Defendants’ consent, ECF No. 62.)
On October 21, 2015, the Court granted the motion of Angelina Z. Bradley to withdraw as

18
19

counsel for Plaintiff. (ECF No. 339.) Plaintiff now proceeds pro se in this matter.
On November 2, 2015, Plaintiff requested an extension of time to file his pretrial statement and

20
21

written request for the attendance of incarcerated witnesses, currently due on November 19, 2015.

22

(ECF No. 340.) In support, Plaintiff explained that as of the date he mailed the motion for filing, on

23

October 28, 2015, he had not yet received his litigation file from former counsel, Ms. Bradley, and he

24

requires the file to draft the documents currently due.
To address Plaintiff’s motion and to ensure this matter proceeds without undue delay, the

25
26

Court requires information from Plaintiff’s former counsel regarding the status of his case file.
