ORDER

AMADOR COUNTY, CALIFORNIA,

15

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to

17
18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to waive personal appearance.

19

See ECF No. 30. Plaintiff seeks waiver of his personal appearance on January 8, 2024. This date

20

appears to refer to the discovery cut-off date set in the Court’s April 26, 2023, scheduling order.

21

See ECF No. 28. Currently, there are no hearings set in this matter which would require

22

Plaintiff’s personal appearance and, pursuant to this Court’s local rules, all motions in civil cases

23

filed by prisoners are submitted on the papers without oral argument or hearing. Plaintiff’s

24

motion to waive personal appearance will be denied as unnecessary.
