This matter is set for jury trial on January 15, 2013, and parties appeared by telephone on

December 5, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. for the trial confirmation hearing. The deadline for the parties to file

15

motions in limine is December 21, 2012, and in his objection to the pretrial order, Defendant

16

requested that exhibits be exchanged sufficiently in advance of that filing deadline to allow for

17

adequate exhibit review. In response, Plaintiff represented to the Court that he has his exhibits

18

prepared and in his possession, but he has been unable to access the law library since September

19

2012 to photocopy the exhibits for defense counsel and the Court.

The Court requests that the Litigation Coordinator for Kern Valley State Prison help facilitate

21

Plaintiff’s ability to obtain photocopies of his exhibits so that a copy may be obtained by defense

22

counsel and Plaintiff may comply with the deadlines set forth in the pretrial order.1 Defense counsel,

23

as an officer of the court, is also requested to contact the Litigation Office and help facilitate

24

resolution of this issue.

Given that the deadline for filing motions in limine is December 21, 2012, prompt attention

to this matter is necessary and the Litigation Coordinator’s anticipated cooperation is appreciated.
