ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR SETTLMENT
CONFERENCE AS PREMATURE

Plaintiff Sylester Williams (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was filed on July
13, 2010. (ECF No. 1.) On May 21, 2013, the Court issued an order directing the United States
Marshal to initiate service of process on Plaintiff’s behalf. May 21, 2013. (ECF No. 23.) The
Marshal has not served Defendant yet and the service deadline of September 23, 2013 has not
passed. On August 1, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion for a settlement conference. (ECF No. 24.)
The Court will set a settlement conference in cases such as this only if both sides believe
one will be beneficial. In as much as Defendants have not yet been served, Plaintiff’s motion is
premature. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for a settlement conference is
DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
