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 October 1, 2014, the district court denied defendants’ motion

20

for summary judgment as to defendants Niazi and Galloway. Before directing the parties to file

21

pretrial statements, the court will seek information as to whether this action would benefit from a

22

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

27

address, fax number, or e-mail address below and marked “Confidential.” Such statements shall

be limited to five pages and shall include the following:
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.

8

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

9

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

10

judge or district judge.

11

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

12

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

13

settlement statements as set forth above; and
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this order to:
