Barry Louis Lamon, (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis
in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983.

17

During the entire week of June 10, 2013, the Eastern District of California, Fresno and

18

Sacramento Divisions, is hosting Settlement Week, during which judges and volunteer mediators

19

will conduct settlement conferences and mediation sessions at no charge to the parties. The parties

20

are ordered to determine whether they believe participation in a settlement conference would be

21

beneficial and feasible in this case.

22

The location(s) of that the settlement conferences will be conducted may not be a Level IV

23

prison. Therefore, Defendants’ counsel shall notify the Court whether there are security concerns

24

that would prohibit scheduling a settlement conference. If security concerns exist, counsel shall

25

notify the Court whether those concerns can be adequately addressed if Plaintiff is transferred for

26

settlement only and then returned to a higher level prison for housing.

27

Accordingly, within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff and

28

The issuance of this order does not guarantee inclusion of any given case in Settlement W eek, but the
Court will make every reasonable attempt to secure the referral. If the case is referred for settlement, the case will be
stayed by order pending completion of the settlement conference.
