15

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se with an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

16

Communication between the court and inmate plaintiff Thomas Goolsby, CDCR # F-19778, is

17

required prior to a settlement conference set before Magistrate Judge Craig M. Kellison on

18

November 3, 2011. By this order, the court directs the Warden and the correctional staff at

19

California Correctional Institution to facilitate a teleconference between court representatives

20

Deepa Kulkarni and Safoora Awan and inmate plaintiff Thomas Goolsby. The teleconference

21

must be a confidential communication between the court representatives and inmate plaintiff Mr.

22

Goolsby. Mr. Goolsby must be able to communicate with the court representatives without

23

having his conversation overheard by others, including correctional officers. This order,

24

however, does not prohibit correctional staff from maintaining visual surveillance of Mr.

25

Goolsby during his teleconference with court representatives.
