Case No. 1:09-cv-01650 JLT (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
IN LIMINE AND REQUEST FOR A TRIAL
DATE

vs.
M. CARRASCO, et al.,

(Doc. 50)

Defendants.

16

/

17

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 7, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion in limine seeking to exclude from trial (1)

19

his gang activity, (2) his state convictions, (3) his disciplinary record, and (4) any evidence not provided

20

to Plaintiff. (Doc. 50 at 1-4.) Plaintiff also requests the Court to set a trial date in this action as soon

21

as possible. (Id. at 4.)

22

Plaintiff’s motion in limine is premature because the Court has yet to establish a schedule for the

23

filing of such motions. In addition, Plaintiff’s request for a trial date is unnecessary. Accordingly, it

24

is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s March 7, 2011 motion in limine and request for a trial date

25

(Doc. 50) is DENIED.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
