TIMOTHY RAY BAKER,

12

Plaintiff,

v.

No. 2:15-cv-0248 TLN AC P

ORDER

J. MACOMBER, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

17
18

§ 1983, has filed a motion for “continual settlement conference offer” that includes an offer to

19

settle the case. ECF No. 176. To the extent the motion seeks the scheduling of a settlement

20

conference, it will be denied. Plaintiff previously requested a settlement conference after his

21

August 2021 trial date was vacated and reset for April 2022, ECF No. 169, and the request was

22

denied after defendant responded that he did not believe a further settlement conference would be

23

fruitful at that time, ECF No. 172. There has been no apparent change in circumstances. If the

24

parties wish to participate in a settlement conference, they may file a joint request to that effect.

25

To the extent plaintiff is making a settlement offer, he is advised that such offers should be

26

directed to defendant’s counsel privately and not filed with the court.

conference, ECF No. 176, is DENIED.
