Case No. 1:17-cv-01691-DAD-EPG (PC)
ORDER SETTING SETTLEMENT
CONFERENCE

v.
J. CASTELLANOS,

14

(ECF No. 70)

Defendant.

15

17

Plaintiff Francisco Sierra is a state inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this

18

civil rights action. Following the district judge’s decision adopting this Court’s findings and

19

recommendations, this case now proceeds on Plaintiff’s cruel-and-unusual-punishment claim

20

against Defendant Castellanos. (ECF No. 70). Upon consideration of the referral of this case for

21
22
23

further proceedings, the Court concludes that this case will benefit from a settlement conference.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
1.

Within fourteen (14) days from the date of service of this order, the assigned

Deputy Attorney General shall contact ADR Coordinator Sujean Park ([e-mail])
24
to schedule the settlement conference. Thereafter, the Court will issue an order setting a
25
26
27

settlement conference. That order will include the date of the conference and the Magistrate Judge
who will oversee the conference, and may also include procedures required by that Judge.
2.

Because the parties will be pursuing settlement, the Court vacates the remaining

28
1

1

deadlines/dates in this case (i.e., the parties’ deadlines to file pretrial statements and the

2

telephonic trial confirmation hearing). (ECF No. 56). If necessary, the Court will issue another

3

scheduling order following the settlement conference.

4
IT IS SO ORDERED.
