Plaintiff,

(Mot Status Check – ECF No. 7)
(Mot Cont Mediation - ECF No. 11)

STATE OF NEVADA ex rel THE NEVADA
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

11

ORDER

Defendants.

12

Before the court is Defendants’ Motion to Continue Early Mediation Conference, Extend

13

Deadline to File Early Mediation Conference Statement, and Extend the 90 Day Stay, and Extend

14

Deadline to file the 90 Day Stay Report (First Request) (ECF No. 11).

15

Defense counsel has requested to extend the early mediation conference currently set for

16

January 5, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. due to a family emergency which will cause the assigned defense

17

attorney to be out of the office for several weeks. The Attorney General’s office therefore requests

18

that the conference be rescheduled for some time after January 22, 2018 and that the 90-day stay

19

report be extended until after the rescheduled mediation.

20

On October 6, 2017 Mr. Craig also filed a Motion for a Status Check (ECF No 7) because

21

the Attorney General’s Office removed his case which was initially filed in state court and he had

22

not received any notice of action taken in his case. Shortly thereafter the court entered a screening

23

order (ECF No. 8) which stayed the case for 90 days to allow the parties to attempt to settle this

24

case through the court’s Early Inmate Mediation Program. This is the mediation which the

25

Attorney General’s Office is now asking to continue. Mr. Craig is advised that if the case is not

26

resolved at the mediation a scheduling order will be entered setting deadlines for the completion

27

of discovery and other case management dates designed to get this case prepared for resolution.

28

Having reviewed and considered the matters, and for good cause shown,
1

1

IT IS ORDERED that:

2

1. The Early Mediation Conference currently scheduled for January 5, 2018 at 1:30 p.m.

3

is VACATED and will be rescheduled for a date and time after January 22, 2018 by a

4

separate order. The order rescheduling the date for the Early Mediation Conference

5

will extend the date for filing the early mediation conference statement.

6
7

2. The 90-day stay report, currently due January 22, 2018, shall be continued until 14 days
after completion of the rescheduled early mediation conference.

8

3. Plaintiff’s Motion for a Status Check (ECF No. 7) is DENIED without prejudice.

9

DATED this 2nd day of January, 2018.
