Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action filed pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed January 21, 2025, this case was referred to the court’s Post-

19

Screening ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) Project and stayed for a period of 120 days.

ECF No. 20. That order provided defendants the opportunity to request opting out of the ADR

21

Project based on a good faith belief that a settlement conference would be a waste of resources.

Id. at 2. Defendants now request to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project and that the stay

23

be lifted. ECF No. 22. Having reviewed the request, the court finds good cause to grant it.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

25

1. Defendants’ request to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project (ECF No. 22) is

26

28

GRANTED.
