Case No.15-cv-02022-JSC
Re: Dkt. No. 51
v.
M. DARDEN,
14
Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se. After Defendant’s motion for summary
15
judgment was denied, the Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Nandor Vadas for settlement
16
proceedings. (ECF Nos. 34, 43.) Judge Vadas set a video settlement conference for June 21,
17
2017. (ECF No. 47.) Before the conference, Defendant notified the Court that the parties reached
18
a settlement agreement on their own. (ECF No. 48.) The conference was vacated and the
19
undersigned issued a conditional order of dismissal on June 13, 2017, providing that if any party
20
certifies to the Court within sixty days that the agreed upon consideration for the settlement has
21
not been delivered over, the dismissal order would be vacated. (ECF No. 50.)
22
On June 21, 2017, Plaintiff’s motion for a new settlement conference was filed, stating that
23
he regretted agreeing to the settlement amount of $25,000 and wanted more money. (ECF No.
24
51.) That motion was signed by Plaintiff on June 5, 2017. (Id.) Defendant has indicated that she
25
has since received --- on June 16, 2017 --- the executed the settlement agreement and release of
26
liability from Plaintiff. (ECF No. 52.) Plaintiff does not contradict this statement. As it appears
27
that Plaintiff executed the settlement agreement after writing his motion, it would also appear that
28
Plaintiff has changed his mind again and is satisfied with the settlement agreement. Absent an
1
indication to the contrary, it appears that this matter is settled, and there is no need for a new
2
settlement conference or alteration of the conditional dismissal order.
