___________________________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PROMPT
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE WITHOUT PREJUDICE (DE166)
This matter is before the Court for consideration of Plaintiff’s motion for
prompt settlement conference, requesting that the Court schedule a settlement
conference in this matter. (DE 166.)
On November 30, 2018, I entered my report on the evidentiary hearing
regarding exhaustion and recommendation to grant the State Defendants’ motion

for summary judgment. (DE 168.) And, on December 18, 2018, I entered my
report and recommendation to (1) grant State Defendants’ motion to dismiss 42
U.S.C. § 1985 conspiracy claims and state law claims, (2) grant Defendant Terry
Meden, M.D.’s second motion for summary judgment, (3) grant Defendant Hannah
Saad, M.D.’s motion to dismiss/summary judgment being filed in lieu of
answering Plaintiff’s complaint, and (4) sua sponte dismiss Plaintiff’s Eighth
Amendment claim against Derek Rosen for failure to exhaust administrative
remedies. (DE 170.) Acceptance of these recommendations would bring this case
to a close.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for prompt settlement conference is
DENIED without prejudice pending Judge Goldsmith’s consideration of the
pending reports and recommendations. To the extent that Plaintiff’s request relates
to case no. 16-12069, pending before Judges Berg and Majzoub and as referenced
in the instant motion, he is free to file a motion seeking similar relief in that case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: December 19, 2018
