In the Trial Confirmation Order for the above-captioned case, issued August 12,

17 2011, the court took the issue of plaintiff’s trial witnesses under submission for further
18 consideration. ECF 102 at 3. As noted in the Amended Pretrial Order, plaintiff has repeatedly not
19 complied with the court’s procedures for securing incarcerated witnesses at trial. ECF 101 at 12.
20 Plaintiff has been afforded several opportunities, accompanied by explicit instructions, to secure
21 incarcerated witnesses for trial. Accordingly, the court reaffirms the Amended Pretrial Order;
22 plaintiff will not be permitted to secure incarcerated inmate witnesses for trial.
23

Additionally, on September 12, 2011, plaintiff moved this court to order a

24 settlement conference, proposing to dismiss this action if defendants immediately release him
25 from prison. ECF 105. Plaintiff’s requested relief is beyond the scope of these proceedings.
26 Plaintiff’s motion is denied.
27

IT IS SO ORDERED.

28 Dated: September 20, 2011.
