ORDER
This is a prisoner civil rights case under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After screening and summary judgment, a single claim of excessive force remains for trial. The Court denied summary judgment on the affirmative defense of non-exhaustion, and the remaining Defendant has requested an evidentiary hearing on that issue. When summary judgment is denied on non-exhaustion, the district judge must then determine the issue sitting as fact-finder at an evidentiary hearing. Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1166 (9th Cir. 2014). Defendant has requested that the parties receive at least 60 days' notice of the hearing. /// /// /// ///
