Frank Wells (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this
civil rights action.
In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the evolving coronavirus protocols,

22

and because the Telephonic Trial Confirmation Hearing is fewer than three months away and

23

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment has not yet been resolved,1 IT IS HEREBY

24

ORDERED that the Telephonic Trial Confirmation Hearing, the trial, and all related deadlines

25

(including the deadlines for the parties to file their pretrial statements and motions for

26

incarcerated witnesses) are VACATED.
