v.

Case No. 17-cv-03269-HSG
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
SANCTIONS WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Re: Dkt. No. 49

RON DAVIS, et al.,
Defendants.

13

Plaintiff, an inmate at San Quentin State Prison (“SQSP”), filed this pro se civil rights

14

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 20, 2020, per the parties’ request, the Court referred

15

this case to Judge Illman for settlement proceedings. Dkt. No. 51. Prior to the referral, plaintiff

16

filed a motion for sanctions against defendants for failing to provide certain discovery. Dkt. No.

17

49. It is unclear if the discovery has since been provided. In light of the ongoing settlement

18

proceedings (Dkt Nos. 57, 58), the Court DENIES the pending motion for sanctions without

19

prejudice to re-filing should the settlement proceedings be unsuccessful and if the discovery issue

20

alleged in the motion for sanctions has not yet been resolved at that time.

21

This order terminates Dkt. No. 49.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
