CURRRENT SCHEDULE
(ECF No. 16)
DISCOVERY DEADLINE: MAY 21, 2018

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner represented by counsel and proceeding in forma
pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Before the Court is the parties’ Stipulation (ECF No. 16) to stay this action for
ninety days to permit the parties to pursue settlement negotiations.

21, 2018, and the deadline for filing dispositive motions to August 1, 2018, to enable
settlement negotiations to proceed without having immediately to finish discovery and file
dispositive motions.
