v.

Case No. 2:18-cv-00767-KJM-JDP (PC)

ECF No. 31
E. OCHOA,
Defendant.

17

On October 13, 2020, plaintiff requested a court settlement conference. ECF No. 31.
18
Defendant, however, does not believe that a settlement conference would be beneficial at this
19
time. ECF No. 33. Thus, the court will not mandate a settlement conference at this time. The
20
parties are encouraged to reconsider settlement after the close of discovery.
21
Accordingly,
22

1. The court construes plaintiff’s filing, ECF No. 31, as a motion.

23

2. Plaintiff’s motion for a settlement conference, ECF No. 31, is denied without

24
prejudice.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
