Plaintiff Curtis Lee Henderson is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this

13

14 civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On June 9, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion,

15 requesting the Court to schedule a settlement conference. (ECF No. 41.) On April 14, 2016, an
16 order was entered, directing service of process of the August 24, 2015, second amended
17 complaint on Defendants Jackson and Smith. (ECF No. 39.) Defendants have not filed an
18 answer, or entered an appearance. Until such time as Defendants have filed a responsive
19 pleading and both parties indicate an interest in a settlement conference, Plaintiff’s request is
20 premature. The Court will entertain such a request early but once all defendants have answered.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for a settlement

21

22 conference is DENIED as premature.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
