ORDER

R. YASSINE,

Defendant.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner represented by counsel who proceeds in this civil rights action

18

against sole defendant Correctional Officer R. Yassine. Plaintiff’s remaining claim, for which he

19

seeks damages, is that defendant Yassine employed excessive force against plaintiff in violation

20

of the Eighth Amendment’s proscription against cruel and unusual punishment. By order filed

21

September 30, 2015, the district judge denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment and

22

referred this case back to the undersigned magistrate judge for further proceedings. See ECF No.

23

123 (Order declining to adopt the undersigned’s Findings and Recommendations filed March 3,

24

2015, ECF No. 118).
Before scheduling this case for trial, the court will inquire into the parties’ interests in

25
26

participating in a settlement conference mediated by another magistrate judge.
