Plaintiff Ivan Ray Carter, Jr., ("Plaintiff") is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Jones for failure to provide adequate medical care in violation of the Eighth Amendment. This matter is set for jury trial on April 17, 2012 before the undersigned.
