KENNETH HATLEN,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 3:12-cv-00534-MMD-WGC

v.

ORDER

GREG COX, et al.,

12

Defendants.

13
14

This Order addresses a number of pending motions before this Court.

15

Plaintiff filed two motions for hearing on Defendants’ Motion for Summary

16

Judgment. (Dkt. nos. 462, 474.) Plaintiff also filed a motion for a status check, requesting

17

the status of his request for a hearing. (Dkt. no. 481.) The Court has set oral argument

18

for September 29, 2015. Plaintiff’s motions (dkt. nos. 462, 474, 481) are denied as

19

moot.

20

Plaintiff filed two objections to the Magistrate Judge’s orders denying two of his

21

motions as moot. (Dkt. nos. 481, 482.) The basis of his objections is that he does not

22

understand the nature of the documents referenced in the Magistrate Judge’s orders

23

docketed as nos. 478 and 480. On June 3, 2015, a minute order was docketed setting a

24

settlement conference for July 21, 2015. (Dkt. no. 476.) However, that order was

25

docketed in error; it should have been docketed in another case. The Court issued a

26

minute order the next day, on June 4, 2015, to correct the error. On June 18, 2015 and

27

June 25, 2015, Plaintiff filed two essentially identical motions to the Court stating his

28

position with respect to settlement. (Dkt. nos. 477, 479.) Because the Court did not order

1

settlement in this case and because the error relating to the minute order setting a

2

settlement conference was corrected, the Magistrate Judge denied Plaintiff’s motions as

3

moot. Plaintiff’s objections (dkt. nos. 481, 482) are overruled.

4

DATED THIS 18th day of September 2015.
