Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42
U.S.C. ยง 1983, which proceeds on the third amended complaint. ECF No. 108.
The dispositive motion filing deadline expired on September 29, 2014. ECF No. 116.
20
Because the parties have not filed dispositive motions, the court will set a final pretrial conference
21
and trial. However, before setting a trial date, the court will require that the parties exhaust
22
settlement efforts, and will refer the parties to a magistrate judge for a settlement conference.
23
Before assigning a settlement judge, the court needs to know if the parties will agree to the
24
undersigned serving as the settlement judge, waiving any conflict that may arise as a result.
25
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within fourteen days of the filing of this
26
order, the parties shall each file a signed Notice Regarding Waiver of Disqualification, indicating
27
whether they will agree to the undersigned serving as the settlement judge. Failure of either party
28
to file a waiver will result in this case being randomly assigned to another magistrate judge for
1
1
purposes of conducting a settlement conference. Further instructions will issue once a settlement
2
judge is assigned.
