Levexier v. County of San Mateo et al - Civil Rights

Dishon Carlos Levexier filed a civil rights complaint in the Northern District of California against multiple defendants including County of San Mateo, Sheriff's Office personnel (Joe Cang, Gaby Chaghouri, John Hamasaki, Sharron H. Lee), the Private Defender Program, and the San Mateo County Bar Association. The complaint was filed on March 30-31, 2026. The plaintiff simultaneously filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, indicating inability to pay filing fees. The court issued an Initial Case Management Scheduling Order setting the Case Management Statement deadline for June 22, 2026 and the Initial Case Management Conference for June 29, 2026.

Defendants named in the complaint should monitor for service of process and prepare responsive pleadings. The in forma pauperis motion, if granted, will affect fee obligations. Counsel should prepare for the case management conference and consider early case assessment given the civil rights nature of the suit. All parties should review the scheduling order deadlines and prepare case management statements addressing the factors under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26.
