Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed

19

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 7, 2014, the district court denied defendants’ motion for

20

summary judgment as to defendants Tseng and Goodgame. Trial is set for April 21, 2015. The

21

parties have been directed to file pretrial statements. As a preliminary matter, the court will seek

22

information as to whether this action would benefit from a settlement proceeding.

23

Accordingly, the parties to this action shall each, no later than fifteen days from the date

24

of the order, submit confidential statements as described below. The confidential statements shall

25

not be served on the opposing party or filed with the court, but instead, delivered by mail, fax, e-

26

mail or personal delivery to the court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) division at the

1. The party’s assessment of whether the instant action is of the type that would benefit
from a settlement proceeding;
2. The party’s assessment of what factors, if any, will prevent settlement of this matter
prior to trial; and
3. Any additional information the court may find useful in determining whether to set this
matter for a settlement conference.

Should the court determine this action to be appropriate for referral to the Prisoner

10

Settlement Program, the court will set this matter for a settlement conference before a magistrate

11

judge or district judge.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

13

1. Within fifteen days from the date of this order, the parties shall submit confidential

14

settlement statements as set forth above; and
