On February 22, 2008, plaintiff, a pretrial detainee then incarcerated at the Santa Rita

County Jail (“SRCJ”) and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled civil rights action under

20

42 U.S.C. § 1983. The operative pleading in the instant action is plaintiff’s Second Amended

21

Complaint (“SAC”), a sixty-page document that the Court previously determined stated

22

cognizable claims for relief, based on events that allegedly occurred between March 2007

23

and December 2008, during which time plaintiff was incarcerated at the SRCJ. By order

24

filed November 30, 2011, the Court granted plaintiff’s request to stay the instant action

25

pending resolution of criminal proceedings brought against him in Alameda County Superior

26

Court.

Now before the Court is plaintiff’s second request to lift the stay for the purpose of
seeking injunctive relief from conditions of confinement at the Glen Dyer Detention Facility,

1

where plaintiff is currently incarcerated. Said request is hereby DENIED for the reasons

2

stated in the Court’s February 17, 2012 order.

3

Also before the Court is plaintiff’s request for appointment of counsel, which

4

represents plaintiff’s seventh such request in this matter. For the reasons stated in the Court’s

5

prior orders, plaintiff’s new request for appointment of counsel is hereby DENIED.

6

This order terminates Docket No. 307.

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
