ORDER FOLLOWING STATUS
CONFERENCE

v.
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD, et al.,
Defendants.

17

A jury trial was conducted in this matter and on October 20, 2016, the jury returned a

18 verdict for Defendants City of Bakersfield and Aaron Stinger and against Plaintiff Leslie Laray
19 Crawford. (ECF Nos. 83, 87.) Judgment was entered on October 21, 2016, and Plaintiff filed a
20 notice of appeal that was processed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 21,
21 2016. (ECF Nos. 89, 92, 93.)
22

On December 16, 2019, this action was remanded and the mandate issued on January 7,

23 2020. (ECF Nos. 103, 111.) A status conference was held on January 21, 2020. Counsel Ben
24 Meiselas appeared telephonically for Plaintiff; and counsel Heather Cohen appeared
25 telephonically for Defendants.
26

At the status conference, Mr. Meiselas stated that he is new counsel for Plaintiff and

27 Defendants indicated that they are intending to file a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court.
28 Therefore, the Court finds that this matter is not ripe to set for trial at this time.
