Jury Trial:
June 24, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. in
Courtroom 5 before Magistrate Judge Jennifer
L. Thurston

Plaintiff Durrell A. Puckett, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 12, 2012. This action for damages is
proceeding on Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint against Defendants Zamora, Rodriguez, and
Acevedo for excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment to the United States
Constitution, and against Defendants Gutierrez and Six Doe Defendants for failing to intervene to
protect Plaintiff’s safety in violation of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The events at issue occurred on January 10, 2012, while Plaintiff was housed at Corcoran State
Prison.
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted in part and denied in part on
February 23, 2015. Accordingly, on March 3, 2015, pursuant to Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rules

1 of Civil Procedure, the Court set a further schedule for this litigation. Pursuant to Rule 16(b)(4),
2 due to a scheduling conflict the Court finds it necessary to modify the scheduling order.
3

On March 12, 2015, Plaintiff filed his pretrial statement and a motion for attendance of

4 incarcerated witnesses who agree to testify voluntarily. On April 20, 2015, Defendants filed their
5 pretrial statement. At this time, the only pending deadline is Defendants’ opposition, if any, to
6 Plaintiff’s motion for attendance of incarcerated witnesses, which is due on or before April 30,
7 2015.
8

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1.

This matter is set for a telephonic trial confirmation hearing before United States

10 Magistrate Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on May 14, 2015, at 8:30 a.m.;
