Harmon v. Callis et al

Harmon v. Callis et al, docket number 25-cv-08500 in the Northern District of California, remains active with no judge assigned yet. The case centers on a plaintiff seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis, indicating financial hardship and a request to waive court fees.

The court issued an order on this motion on May 12, 2026, signaling early procedural activity but no substantive rulings. The parties and claims remain unclear from the docket, but the in forma pauperis motion suggests the plaintiff is proceeding without counsel or with limited resources.

The absence of a judge assignment means the case is still in its initial stages and has not yet moved to discovery or dispositive motions. The court’s handling of the in forma pauperis request will determine whether the plaintiff can continue without paying fees, which is critical for the case’s progression.

Until the court assigns a judge and sets a schedule, the case will likely remain in procedural limbo. Observers should watch for the judge assignment and any scheduling orders that will clarify the claims and deadlines.
