pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On April 23, 2018, the Court referred this case to post-screening Alternative Dispute

20

Resolution, and a settlement conference was set for August 14, 2018, at 9:30 a.m. before United States

21

Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe. (ECF No. 20.)
On May 23, 2018, Defendant filed a statement requesting to “opt-out” of the settlement

22
23

conference because based on defense counsel’s investigation of Plaintiff’s claims, consultation with

24

defense counsel’s supervisor, and Plaintiff’s settlement, counsel believes a settlement conference

25

would likely be a waste of resources. (ECF No. 21.) In light of defense counsel’s representation, the

26

Court finds that the interest of justice would be served by vacating the August 14, 2018 settlement

27

conference to be rescheduled at a later date, if necessary.
