Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action

17

seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 16, 2012, the assigned district judge granted

defendants’ motion for summary judgment brought on behalf of defendant Nurse Kaur but

denied defendants’ motion for summary judgment brought on behalf of defendant Dr. Chen. On

20

July 3, 2012, the assigned district judge granted defendant’s motion for summary judgment on

21

behalf of defendant Pharmacist Naku and referred this matter back to the Magistrate Judge for

22

further proceedings with respect to plaintiff’s claims against defendant Dr. Chen.

23

In due course, the court will issue a further scheduling order setting dates for

24

pretrial statements, pretrial conference, and jury trial. However, before issuing the further

scheduling order, the court will set a mandatory settlement conference in this case. If available,

26

the court may order that plaintiff participate in the settlement conference by way of video1

2

writing as to whether they wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the undersigned

magistrate judge or if they wish to be referred to the court’s mediation program.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

5

1. Within twenty-one days of the date of this order, each party shall inform the

6

court in writing as to whether they wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the

7

undersigned magistrate judge or if they wish to wish to be referred to the court’s mediation

8

program. If the parties wish to proceed before the undersigned magistrate judge, each party shall

9

return to the court the consent form for settlement conferences provided with this order. If the

10

parties do not wish the undersigned magistrate judge to preside at the settlement conference, each

11

party shall file a declaration stating he wishes to be referred to the court’s mediation program;

12

and
