PETER J. HELFRICH,

ORDER

DISCUSSION
Plaintiff has filed a motion for a speedy trial, a motion for judicial notice, and a motion

14
15

2:14-cv-1725-RFB-NJK

for submission. (ECF Nos. 48, 52, 53).

16

The Court denies Plaintiff’s motion for a speedy trial. (ECF No. 48). The right to a

17

speedy trial only applies to criminal cases and this is a civil case. See U.S. Const. amend. VI

18

(stating that “[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and

19

public trial . . . .”).

20

The Court denies Plaintiff’s motions for judicial notice and submission. (ECF Nos. 52,

21

53). Based on the motions, which are identical, it appears that Plaintiff has attempted to

22

transcribe illegible doctors’ reports by hand because prison officials failed to provide him

23

access to the typed or transcribed versions.

24

acknowledges that Plaintiff has attempted to interpret the doctors’ reports himself, the Court

25

does not accept Plaintiff’s interpretations and will review the reports itself.
