ORDER Denying Motion To Stay 17 , And Granting Thirty Day Extension Of Time To File Objection, signed by Magistrate Judge Sandra M. Snyder on 1/6/2009. (Objections to F&R due by 2/11/2009) (Scrivner, E)

On December 16, 2008, the Court recommended that Plaintiff's official capacity claims and substantive due process claim be dismissed, and this action proceed on Plaintiff's personal capacity claims for violation of the Eighth Amendment. On December 29, 2008, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking to stay this action to obtain legal counsel. Plaintiff's argument in his motion that the Eleventh Amendment does not bar his official capacity claims for money damages is without merit. Hydrick v. Hunter, 500 F.3d 978, 986-87 (9th Cir. 2007). There is no question that Plaintiff may only proceed on his personal capacity claims. Id. The Court will provide Plaintiff with an extension of time to file an objection to the recommendation, but there are no grounds justifying a stay in this action. /// /// /// /// 1 v.
