Disposition notice
Plaintiff Kalen Lon Collins, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Defendants Gill Ravijot, Hayne, Bright, Majid Saravi, Chika Mbadugma, P.A., and Brain Phi, alleging deliberate indifference to serious medical need in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. The complaint had not yet been screened and Defendants had not been served. On October 21, 2026, Plaintiff notified the court that he was in the custody of the Riverside County Sheriff at Robert Presley Detention Center and expected to return to California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation custody within a few weeks. Plaintiff stated he would be "okay if the court paused proceedings" until his return to CDCR custody. The court denied the motion without prejudice, finding that Plaintiff had not met his burden of establishing the need for a stay. The court noted that the complaint was awaiting screening, there were no other pending deadlines, and Plaintiff had not identified any specific motion he intended to file to prosecute the action during his transfer. The court concluded there was no need to stay the action at that time and stated the complaint would be screened in due course.
