Plaintiff Madero Pouncil is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this
civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On April 18, 2019, the Court issued an order setting this case for a settlement conference

20

on June 5, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. at the United States Courthouse in Fresno, California before the

21

undersigned. (ECF No. 28.) Pursuant to Defendant’s request to move the settlement conference to

22

a different date1, the Court continues the June 5, 2019 settlement conference to July 11, 2019, at

23

11:00 a.m., at the United States Courthouse in Fresno, California before the undersigned. (ECF

On May 8, 2019, Defendant filed a “Notice to Opt Out of Post-Screening ADR.” (ECF No. 30.)
However, since Defendant clearly states that he does not wish to miss an opportunity to engage in
settlement discussions with Plaintiff and requests that the Court move the settlement conference
from June 5, 2019 to a different date after June 10, 2019, the Court interprets Defendant’s May 8,
2019 notice as a request for a continuance of the June 5, 2019 settlement conference, and not as a
request to opt-out of having an early settlement conference with Plaintiff altogether.
