WORTH,

Plaintiff, Anthony Silva, is a state inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this
19
civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 13, 2019, Plaintiff filed a document titled as
20
a motion in which he inquires “to see if there be (sic) participate in the pre-designated settlement
21
(sic) that is for Date (sic) June 2019.” (Doc. 61.) On that same date, Plaintiff also filed a motion
22
seeking to open discovery and to compel Defendants to produce “Video Evidence Viewing of
23
Incident-Log No.# 14-FC-11-071,” and “copies of document’s (sic) that is in the Court Judge
24
(sic) office.”1 (Doc. 60.)
This case is currently set for a settlement conference on June 7, 2019, before Magistrate
25
26
Judge Stanley A. Boone, and a writ has issued to ensure Plaintiff’s attendance. (Doc. 57, 58.)

The Court has no documents related to this case other than as reflected on the docket.

1
Plaintiff’s motion for an order regarding that settlement conference is therefore moot. If the case
2
does not settle, a Discovery and Scheduling Order will issue which will open discovery, thereby
3
allowing Plaintiff to propound discovery on Defendant. Since discovery has not yet opened in
4
this case, Plaintiff’s motion to compel is premature.
5
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED, that Plaintiff's motion regarding court-
6
supervised settlement conference, filed on May 13, 2019, (Doc. 61), is disregarded as moot and
7
Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery, filed on May 13, 2019, (Doc. 60), is denied without
8
prejudice as it is premature.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
