On February 6, 2015, this court ordered the parties to inform the court’s ADR division in

19

writing whether they believed a settlement conference in consolidated cases 2:11-cv-2293 and

20

2:11-cv-2294 would be beneficial. (ECF No. 80.) On March 9, 2015, defendants’ counsel

21

informed the ADR division in writing that defendants were agreeable to a settlement conference.

22

On March 13, 2015, a settlement conference was set before Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman

23

for June 2, 2015. (ECF No. 84.) A writ was issued to transport plaintiff to court to attend the

24

conference. (ECF No. 85.) Due to the logistics of transporting prisoners, prison officials may

25

begin transporting plaintiff any day now.

On May 21, 2015, a member of defense counsel’s staff contacted the ADR division to
request that the settlement conference be canceled.
