Plaintiff Robert Thomas (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in
forma pauperis in this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on an
Eighth Amendment excessive force claim against Defendants Razo, Moreno, Brown, Vera, Vasquez
and Holguin.
Trial is currently set for February 25, 2014.
On October 21, 2013, the Court ordered the parties to notify the Court whether a Court
settlement conference would be beneficial in resolving this action.
On November 5, 2013, Defendants indicated that they would participate in good faith in a
settlement conference.
Plaintiff has not responded.
Therefore, Plaintiff is ORDERED, within fifteen days of the date of service of this order,
to notify the Court whether he believes a settlement conference would be beneficial. If he agrees,
the Court will issue a further scheduling order setting this matter for settlement conference before a
Magistrate Judge or District Judge from the United States District Court, Eastern District of
California.
