Plaintiff Michael Steven King is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

17 rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

This matter was set for a jury trial commencing May 16, 2017 on Plaintiff’s claims

19 against Defendants Deathriage, Martinez, and Briones for excessive force in violation of the
20 Eighth Amendment, before United States District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill.
21

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the parties have consented to the jurisdiction of the

22 United States Magistrate Judge. (ECF Nos. 5, 80); Local Rule 302. This matter has been
23 reassigned to the undersigned. (ECF No 82.)

On April 21, 2017, Defendants filed a motion to continue the trial date approximately

25 three months later than currently scheduled, due to the medical unavailability to Defendant
26 Deathriage. In the interest of accommodating the parties’ schedules, the Court will hold a
27 telephonic hearing to discuss Defendants’ request to continue the trial date.
