TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
You are hereby notified that a settlement conference is scheduled in this case for 9:00 a.m.
on June 17, 2014, at Solano State Prison.
Defense counsel is ORDERED to meet and confer telephonically with Plaintiff to discuss

19

settlement of this case no later than three weeks before the settlement conference. The legal

20

representative of the CDCR must be present at this telephonic meeting.

21

The matter is HEREBY SET for a telephonic status conference on June 3, 2014, at 1:00 p.m.

22

The parties shall dial 888-684-8852 and enter access code 1868782. At the status conference, the

23

24

to arrange for the telephonic appearance of Plaintiff.

25

Lead trial counsel shall appear at the settlement conference with the parties and persons
