Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
J. HAVILAND, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel. This civil rights action is
18
presently set for settlement conference on Tuesday, March 25, 2014, before the undersigned. On
19
March 3, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the court order prison officials to allow
20
plaintiff to retain his legal materials during his transport to the settlement conference. (ECF No.
21
132.) Plaintiff contends that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
22
routinely separates inmates from their legal documents.
23
Review of the record reflects that plaintiff needs his legal materials for reference during
24
the settlement conference, and the court would be assisted by plaintiff having such records during
25
the conference. Therefore, counsel for defendants is directed to immediately contact the litigation
26
coordinator at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison, Corcoran,
27
California, to ensure that plaintiff’s legal materials are transported with plaintiff for his
28
attendance at the March 25, 2014 settlement conference.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
2
1. Plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 132) is partially granted; and
3
2. Counsel for defendants is directed to immediately contact the litigation coordinator at
4
the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison, Corcoran, California, to
5
ensure that plaintiff’s legal materials are transported with plaintiff for his attendance at the March
6
25, 2014 settlement conference.
