Martinez v. Allison et al

Filing 151

ORDER DENYING Plaintiff's Request for Court's Jury Voir Dire 149 , signed by District Judge Ralph R. Beistline on 3/16/16. (Hellings, J)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
RONALD F. MARTINEZ,
Case No. 1:11-cv-01749-RRB
Plaintiff,
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
REQUEST FOR COURT’S
JURY VOIR DIRE

vs.
KATHLEEN ALLISON, Warden, et al.,
Defendants.

At Docket 149 Plaintiff Ronald F. Martinez has requested a copy of the Court’s jury
voir dire. It appears from the motion that Martinez misunderstood the Court. Although the
Court indicated it would provide the parties the Court’s proposed jury instructions for review,
it did not indicate it would provide a copy of its voir dire questions. It is not the policy of the
Court to provide parties with its voir dire questions as these are subject to change. The Court
did, however, request the parties to submit proposed voir dire questions for the Court to
propound to the prospective jurors, which both parties have provided1 and to which the Court
will give due consideration.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion Requesting a Copy of the Court’s Voir Dire to the Jury
at Docket 149 is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of March, 2016.
S/ RALPH R. BEISTLINE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
