v.

ORDER

KIM HOLLAND, et al.,

15

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding with a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

18

Plaintiff alleges defendants’ use of the Guard One security check system caused sleep disruption

19

in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Before the court is plaintiff’s motion for a settlement

20

conference. Plaintiff states that he is seeking the conference in the interest of conserving judicial

21

resources. Defendants oppose the motion. They feel they have a strong qualified immunity

22

defense that they intend to raise in a motion for summary judgment. Based on defendants’

23

opposition, it does not appear that a settlement conference would be fruitful at this time.
