Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
636(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On August 26, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting the setting of a settlement
conference. The dispositive motion filing deadline in this case is October 30, 2015. Upon the
expiration of the dispositive motion filing deadline, or upon the resolution of any dispositive
motion, the parties will be directed to inform the Court whether a settlement conference would
be beneficial. Until such time, Plaintiff’s request is premature.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for a settlement
conference is denied as premature. The parties, however, may engage in settlement discussions

22

without the need for a Court-held settlement conference.
23 IT IS SO ORDERED.
