Plaintiff,

Case No.: 1:17-cv-00917-JLT (PC)
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER

v.
(Doc. 44)
RUBEN CASANOVA, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff requests that the Court “conclude … discovery” and issue an order setting pretrial

18

and trial dates. (See Doc. 44 at 2.) The Court notes that the discovery cutoff date has already

19

passed, (see Doc. 41), but the dispositive motion deadline is not until January 29, 2020, (Doc. 37).

20

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for a pretrial scheduling order as premature.

21

The Court will not issue such an order until after it rules on any dispositive motions filed before

22

the deadline, assuming no motions dispose of this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated:

January 7, 2020
