IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
ANDREW CALDWELL,
Plaintiff,
v.
MAREK P. SLIWA, et al.,
Defendants.
No. 2:25-CV-03284-TLN-DMC
ORDER
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this civil action. Pending before the
Court are Plaintiff’s emergency motion to stay all proceedings, ECF No. 17 and request for
expedited consideration, ECF No. 18.
Plaintiff’s recent filings indicate Plaintiff is concerned about proceeding to
scheduling or conferring with Defendants over a joint scheduling statement because Plaintiff does
not want to consent to federal jurisdiction, thereby defeating his motion to remand. See ECF Nos.
17, 18, and 19. The matter was originally set for a scheduling conference, ECF No. 7, but
following Plaintiff filing a motion to remand, ECF Nos. 10 and 13, the undersigned vacated the
scheduling conference, ECF No. 14. Plaintiff’s properly noticed motion to remand set a hearing
before the undersigned for February 4, 2026, in Redding, California. See ECF No. 13.

Given the scheduling conference is vacated, any scheduling or discovery matters
will not be addressed until the motion to remand is resolved. Thus, Plaintiff’s motion to stay and
request for expedited consideration, ECF Nos. 17 and 18, are MOOT and the undersigned will
therefore DENY such motions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 12, 2026
