United States District Court

No. C-13-3617 EMC (pr)

P. VAUGHT, Psychiatric Technician,

12

ORDER REFERRING ACTION TO
MEDIATION PROGRAM

Defendant.
___________________________________/

14

In the order of service, the Court noted, “[i]n light of the confined nature of the dispute, the

15

likely low value of the claim, and prison officials’ own finding that Ms. Vaught had not complied with

16

CDCR policies, this action appears a good candidate for a very early referral to the Court’s Pro

17

Se Prisoner Mediation Program. Ms. Vaught must first be served with process, however.” Docket #

18

7 at 3. Ms. Vaught has now been served and filed an answer to the complaint.

19

Good cause appearing therefor, this case is now referred to Magistrate Judge Vadas for

20

mediation proceedings pursuant to the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program. The proceedings will take

21

place within one-hundred and fifty days of the date this order is filed. Magistrate Judge Vadas will

22

coordinate a time and date for a mediation proceeding with all interested parties and/or their

23

representatives and, within seven days after the conclusion of the mediation proceedings, file with the

24

court a report for the proceedings. The Clerk will send to Magistrate Judge Vadas a copy of this order.
