No. 2:21-cv-1248 DJC AC P

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

JEFF LYNCH, et al.,
Defendants.

15
16

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a motion for ADA assistance during

17

his upcoming settlement conference. ECF No. 50. He states that he struggles with reading and

18

writing comprehension and requests that he be permitted to have another inmate, who is an

19

assigned ADA worker, assist him during his settlement conference. Id.

20

Plaintiff will be appearing at the settlement conference by Zoom video conference and

21

will therefore be able to have verbal, rather than written, communication with the settlement

22

conference judge. Since plaintiff’s asserted disability relates to his ability to read and write, it

23

does not appear that assistance will be required at the settlement conference.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for ADA assistance

25

(ECF No. 50) is DENIED.
