ORDER REGARDING SETTING TRIAL
DATE GIVEN LOGISTICS OF
PLAINTIFF’S PAROLE HEARING

Defendants.

At the pretrial conference yesterday, plaintiff’s counsel requested that in setting the trial
17
date in this matter — given the current trial that is proceeding before the undersigned, and other
18
matters set for trial — the judge keep in mind that plaintiff has a parole hearing scheduled for
19
September 18 that he would like to be available to attend. Counsel stated that plaintiff is
20
currently being housed at San Quentin and will be there through the trial. Defendant is
21
otherwise housed at Ironwood State Prison (Dkt. No. 98).
22
This order requests that plaintiff’s counsel respond with and clarify the following
23
information:
24
•

Will the parole hearing occur at San Quentin or Ironwood?

•

In either case, how many days off of trial would need to be taken to allow plaintiff
to attend his parole hearing, including travel time, if trial were proceeding during
that time?

•

Counsel also stated that plaintiff would like to be available for other meetings in
preparation for his parole hearing. Would those occur at San Quentin or
Ironwood? How much time off would those require?

If any movement from San Quentin back to Ironwood is required for any of the
above, specifically how many days notice do prison officials require before they
move plaintiff back so he is available for trial, if trial is set by the Court to
commence on fairly short notice?

3
The judge is only able to accommodate plaintiff if he knows realistically what the logistical facts
4
are. Counsel shall please consult with whoever is necessary and submit a clarifying response,
5
endeavoring to be specific whenever possible. Counsel may also subsequently provide updates
6
as appropriate.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
