Defendants.

Plaintiff Robert Cisneros is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights

19

action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 16, 2019, defendants filed a motion for

20

summary judgment, arguing that Cisneros failed to exhaust his administrative remedies before

21

filing this suit. ECF No. 19. On August 20, defendants filed a motion to stay discovery pending

22

resolution of the motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 20. And, on September 11, defendants

23

asked to be exempted from the court’s alternative dispute resolution program, citing the pending

24

motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 23.

25

Good cause having been shown, defendants’ motion and request are granted. The current

26

discovery and scheduling order is vacated, as is the order setting this case for alternative dispute

27

resolution and scheduling a settlement conference. See ECF Nos. 18 and 21. I will issue a new

28

scheduling order, if necessary, once the motion for summary judgment is decided.
