ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
CONTINUE SETTLEMENT
CONFERENCE

13
14

On October 15, 2012, Plaintiff filed a Motion (ECF No. 126) requesting the court to

15 continue the scheduled November 15, 2012 settlement conference before Judge Brennan to
16 Saturday, February 2, 2013, four days prior to the scheduled trial date and apparently two
17 days after Plaintiff claims he will be released from prison. Plaintiff seeks the continuance
18 due to alleged ongoing retaliation unrelated to the matter at hand. Plaintiff’s ongoing
19 baseless attempts to delay the resolution of this matter are inappropriate. The Motion (ECF
20 No. 126) is DENIED.
21

The Clerk is hereby directed to enter this Order and furnish copies to Plaintiff, counsel,

22 and to Judge Brennan.

DATED this 17TH day of October, 2012.
