STATUS CONFERENCE
Telephonic Status Conference (via Zoom):
Date: November 23, 2020
Time: 9:30 a.m.
Judge: Barbara A. McAuliffe

On June 30, 2020, the Court vacated the trial date and pretrial deadlines in this action as a

19

result of the ongoing judicial emergency in the Eastern District of California and the evolving

20

circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 crisis. (ECF No. 110.) This action was also set for a

21

telephonic status conference on October 7, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. to discuss resetting the relevant

22

deadlines and trial date. (Id.) As a result of changing circumstances and protocols throughout

23

CDCR in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis, the status conference was continued to November

24

18, 2020 at 9:30 a.m., and defense counsel was ordered to arrange for Plaintiff’s participation.

25

(ECF No. 121.)

26

On October 14, 2020, Defendants filed a notice regarding the prison’s inability to

27

accommodate the telephonic status conference on the currently-scheduled date. (ECF No. 122.)

28

Defense counsel was informed by the Litigation Coordinator at Plaintiff’s institution that the
1

1

prison is unable to accommodate the telephonic hearing on November 18, 2020, because of

2

previously-scheduled proceedings that are occurring that day. The Litigation Coordinator

3

informed defense counsel that the prison can accommodate a telephonic hearing on November 23,

4

24, or 25, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. (Id.)
