No. 2:15-cv-1894 KJN P

ORDER

CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL
GROUP, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se, in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. §

18
19

1983. On July 5, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion for the appointment of counsel at the settlement

20

conference. However, on June 27, 2016, the order referring this case for settlement conference

21

under the Post-Screening ADR Project was vacated, and the stay was lifted. Therefore, no

22

settlement conference is scheduled at this time. Plaintiff’s motion was provided to prison

23

officials for mailing on June 28, 2016, and therefore he did not have benefit of the court’s June

24

27, 2016 order. Thus, plaintiff’s motion is denied without prejudice to its renewal should the

25

matter be set for settlement conference in the future.

counsel (ECF No. 25) is denied without prejudice.
