Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil rights

18

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed February 25, 2021, this case was

19

referred to the court’s Post-Screening ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) Project and stayed

20

for a period of 120 days. ECF No. 39. That order provided defendants the opportunity to request

21

opting out of the ADR Project based on a good faith belief that a settlement conference would be

22

a waste of resources. Id. at 2. Defendants now request to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR

23

Project and that the stay be lifted. ECF No. 41. Having reviewed the request, the court finds

24

good cause to grant it.

25

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1. Defendants’ request to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project, ECF No. 41, is

27
28

GRANTED.
2. The stay of this action, commencing February 25, 2021, ECF No. 39, is LIFTED.
