Date
June 30, 2021

Background

On May 19, 2021, the court had scheduled a case-management conference for July 7, 2021, at 9:30 a.m. On June 29, 2021, the court extended plaintiff Thomas Jackson’s time to respond to outstanding discovery requests to July 29, 2021. The court also ordered defense counsel to investigate the whereabouts of Jackson’s belongings and file a letter about that investigation by July 13, 2021.

Order

The court adjourned the July 7 case-management conference to August 30, 2021, at 3:30 p.m.

The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to proceed without paying the required fees for purposes of an appeal. The court also stated that chambers would mail Jackson a copy of the order at the address on the docket.

Effect

Judge Vincent L. Briccetti’s order changed the conference date and addressed the discovery-related deadlines and investigation. It did not decide the underlying claims in the case.
