Plaintiff,

LASSEN ADULT DETENTION

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

19

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is set for a jury trial before the Honorable John A. Mendez on

20

October 22, 2018.

21

On July 20, 2018, plaintiff filed a pleading titled “Request for Disclosure of Pretrial

22

Conference Proceedings.” (ECF No. 124.) In this pleading, plaintiff states that he is under the

23

impression that a pretrial conference, on paper, has taken place. (Id.) Plaintiff requests a copy of

24

the transcript from this proceeding. (Id.) If no pretrial conference has occurred, plaintiff requests

25

that he be allowed to attend a pretrial conference via telephone or video conference. (Id.)

26

A pretrial conference was previously conducted, solely on the papers, in this action. On

27

March 2, 2018, the undersigned issued a pretrial order. (ECF No. 108.) On May 15, 2018, the

28

undersigned issued an order amending the pretrial order in response to plaintiff’s supplemental
1

2

pretrial statement. (ECF No. 114.)
Because the pretrial conference was conducted on paper, there are no transcripts from this

3

proceeding. No further pretrial conference hearings will be held, unless ordered by Judge

4

Mendez.

5

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s July 20, 2018 request for

6

disclosure of pretrial conference proceedings is denied.
