Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
JOSEPH DEFAZIO, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
18
§ 1983. This action is set for a settlement conference before the undersigned on November 17,
19
2021. Counsel was appointed for the limited purpose of representing plaintiff at the settlement
20
conference.
21
Pending before the court is plaintiff’s October 21, 2021 motion to compel. (ECF No.
22
244.) In this motion, plaintiff alleges that on October 1, 2021, he was released from the custody
23
of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) and admitted to
24
Atascadero State Hospital (“ASH”) as a Mentally Disordered Offender (“MDO”). Plaintiff
25
alleges that his ASH Unit Supervisor informed him that he would not receive his legal property
26
until two months after his arrival to ASH. Plaintiff alleges that he requires immediate access to
27
his legal property in order to litigate two civil rights actions and one habeas corpus petition.
28
Plaintiff requests that the court order the ASH Executive Director to immediately release his legal
1
1
2
property to him.
Plaintiff does not require immediate access to his legal property regarding the instant
3
action because this action is set for a settlement conference on November 17, 2021, where
4
plaintiff will be represented by counsel. The undersigned will address plaintiff’s motion to
5
compel the ASH Executive Director to release his legal property related to the instant action
6
following the settlement conference, if appropriate.
7
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the court will address plaintiff’s motion to
8
compel (ECF No. 244) following the November 17, 2021 settlement conference.
