GARCIA, et al.,

Case No. 1:08-cv-00689-JLT (PC)
ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION
FOR STATUS OF MOTION TO SET ASIDE
VERDICT AND FOR A NEW TRIAL
(Doc. 232)

Defendants.

Plaintiff Jean-Pierre K. Thomas (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

19

forma pauperis with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A jury trial was held in

20

this matter between July 23 and 25, 2013, in the U.S. District Court in Bakersfield, California,

21

which returned a defense verdict, resulting in entry of judgment and case closure on July 26,

22

2013.

23

On December 22, 2014, Plaintiff filed a document entitled "Status of pending motion to

24

set aside the verdict and order a new trial." (Doc. 232.) It appears this document was filed with

25

this Court in error as it is directed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Likewise, the

26

attachment to the motion, which is another motion purportedly filed in 2013, was directed to the

27

Ninth Circuit never filed in this Court.

28

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for status, filed on
1

1

December 22, 2014 (Doc. 232) is STRICKEN from the record and no further filings will be

2

accepted in this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
