Plaintiff,

No. 2:16-CV-0517-JAM-DMC-P
v.
ORDER
F. CUSTINO,
15
Defendant.
16
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to
17
18
42 U.S.C. § 1983.
19
A review of the docket reflects that discovery has closed and dispositive motions
20
have been resolved. The matter proceeds on plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment safety claim against
21
defendant Custino only and has now been at issue for sufficient time that it may be ready to be set
22
for trial. The parties shall therefore each submit to the court and serve by mail on all other parties
23
a report on the status of this case. The report must address the following:
24
1.
Whether this matter is ready for trial and, if not, why not;
25
2.
Whether additional discovery is deemed necessary and, if so, the nature
26
and scope of the discovery and the time needed in which to complete it;
27
///
28
///

3.
Whether a pretrial motion is contemplated and, if so, the type of motion
2
and the time needed to file the motion and complete the time schedule set forth in Local Rule
3
230(m);
4

4.
A narrative statement of the facts that will be offered by oral or
documentary evidence at trial;
6
5.
A list of all exhibits to be offered into evidence at the trial of the case;
7
6.
A list of the names and addresses of all witnesses the party intends to call;
8
7.
A summary of the anticipated testimony of any incarcerated witnesses;
9
8.
The time estimated for trial;
10
9.
Whether either party still requests trial by jury;
11
10.
As to any defendants who remain unserved, the parties shall address
12
whether such defendants should be dismissed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m); and
13
14
11.
Any other matter, not covered above, which the party desires to call to the
attention of the court.
15
The parties are warned that failure to file a status report which addresses the issues
16
set forth above may result in the imposition of appropriate sanctions, including dismissal of the
17
action or preclusion of issues or witnesses. See Local Rule 110.
18
The parties are informed that they may, if all consent, have this case tried by a
19
United States Magistrate Judge while preserving their right to appeal to the United States Court of
20
Appeals. An appropriate form for consent to trial by a Magistrate Judge is attached. Any party
21
choosing to consent may complete the form and return it to the clerk of this court. Neither the
22
Magistrate Judge nor the District Judge handling the case will be notified of the filing of a
23
consent form unless all parties to the action have consented.
