ORDER

15

Plaintiff Jason Eric Sonntag sued several Defendants for constitutional violations arising

16

out of his pretrial detention at the Washoe County Jail. The Court granted summary judgment to

17

Defendants as against the remaining claims in the Third Amended Complaint. (See Order, Mar.

18

3, 2011, ECF No. 124). Plaintiff has appealed, but several motions remain pending upon which

19

the Court must rule before the Court of Appeals may consider the appeal. Although variously

20

titled, all the motions except two are in substance motions to reconsider, and the Court declines

21

to reconsider. As to the remaining two motions, the Court declines to grant a stay but grants

22

leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3).
