Plaintiff Donald Glass (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

16

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 25, 2012, an order

17

issued requiring the parties to notify the Court if a settlement conference would be beneficial in this

18

action. (ECF No. 110.) Plaintiff filed a response on October 19, 2012, stating that he would open

19

to participating in a settlement conference. (ECF No. 116.) Defendants filed a response on October

20

22, 2012, stating that a settlement conference would be beneficial, however the costs of having the

21

parties attend the conference outweighs the settlement value of the action, and a telephonic

22

settlement conference was requested. (ECF No. 117.) On November 8, 2012, Plaintiff filed an

23

objection to having the settlement conference held telephonically. (ECF No. 121.)

Based upon the parties’ responses, the Court declines to set a settlement conference at this
time. The Court would encourage the parties to discuss settlement.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
