ORDER

LARRY LORMAN, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of

17
18

civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. A trial confirmation hearing is scheduled for

19

September 7, 2023 and trial is scheduled to begin October 30, 2023. Plaintiff has

20

filed a motion asking that this matter be stayed due to her having difficulties preparing

21

for trial. The Court notes that this case has been pending since 2017, and motion

22

practice in this matter concluded in March 2020. Plaintiff in effect asks for an

23

indefinite stay pending her release from custody, which does not appear imminent.
