[TENTATIVE] ORDER GRANTING IN PART MOTION TO CONTINUE ALL UPCOMING DEADLINES AND HEARINGS

 

Dept. 48

8:30 a.m.

April 24, 2025

 

On October 29, 2024, Plaintiff William Leo Jackson filed this action against Defendants Los Angeles County Sheriffs, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Men Central Jail, and Robert Luna in his Capacity of Sheriff of Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department and Facilities Only.

On February 19, 2025, Plaintiff filed a motion for continuance of all upcoming deadlines and hearings.

Plaintiff explains that he was transferred to a different prison and was expected to remain in reception for approximately 90 days, and he would be without full access to legal resources until April 14, 2025.  That date has now passed, so the request for a continuance is moot.

Plaintiff also requests an order for transportation to in-person hearings or an order permitting him to participate in hearings via telephone.  The Court cannot grant open-ended access to phone calls or transportation for all hearings without specifying the hearing dates and times.  The Court will, however, consolidate the upcoming hearings and order that Plaintiff be given access to appear remotely.

The motion is GRANTED IN PART.

The Case Management Conference scheduled for April 29, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. is advanced to this date and CONTINUED to August 19, 2025 at 8:30 a.m.

The Hearing on Motion for Order Removal and Transportation scheduled for May 29, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. is advanced to this date and CONTINUED to August 19, 2025 at 8:30 a.m.

The Hearing on Demurrer - without Motion to Strike remains on calendar for August 19, 2025 at 8:30 a.m.

The CDCR is ordered to produce Plaintiff William Leo Jackson, Inmate Number BZ3572, who is incarcerated at the High Desert State Prison, 475-750 Rice Canyon Rd., Susanville, CA 96127 for his appearance by remote means in the matter of the above-referenced action on August 19, 2025 at 8:30 a.m.

Clerk to give notice.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SMCDEPT48@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit.  If all parties in the case submit on the tentative ruling, no appearances before the Court are required unless a companion hearing (for example, a Case Management Conference) is also on calendar.

 

         Dated this 24th day of April 2025

 

 

 

 

Hon. Thomas D. Long

Judge of the Superior Court
