ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR JURY TRIAL DATE AND FOR
DISCOVERY RULING
(ECF No. 103)

17
18

Plaintiff Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma

19

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds against

20

Defendant Balcagon (erroneously sued as Badagon) for excessive force in violation of the

21

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This matter is currently set for a

22

telephonic trial confirmation hearing on October 21, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. in Courtroom 4(LJO).

23

On October 15, 2015, Plaintiff filed the instant motion, requesting that the Court set a

24

trial date, and rule on his allegedly pending second motion to compel concerning his discovery

25

request for paper copies of photos. (ECF No. 103.) The trial date will be discussed at the

26

upcoming telephonic trial confirmation hearing, and thus Plaintiff’s motion to set a date is

27

premature. Regarding Plaintiff’s request for a ruling, contrary to his contentions, there is no

28

motion to compel pending before this Court at this time, and nothing for the Court to rule on.

For these reasons, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to set a trial date and
for a discovery ruling is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
