Defendants.

16

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights complaint

17

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff alleges that his Eighth Amendment rights were violated by

18

defendants when they failed to properly secure him in a transport vehicle in June 2016. See

19

generally ECF No. 17. On June 10, 2021, defendants filed a motion to opt out of the post-

20

screening ADR project. ECF No. 38. Having reviewed the motion, the court finds good cause to

21

grant it.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

23

1. Defendants’ motion to opt out of the ADR Project (ECF No. 38) is GRANTED;

24

2. The stay of this action (see ECF No. 37) is LIFTED, and

pleading.
