WILLIAM STEPHENSON, Plaintiff, v. STEPHANIE CLENDENIN, DIRECTOR, CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS; and BRANDON PRICE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COALINGA STATE HOSPITAL, Defendants.
[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO OPT OUT OF EARLY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
JEREMY D. PETERSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendants have filed a motion to opt out of an early settlement conference, which indicates that “[a]fter investigating plaintiff's claims, meeting and conferring with plaintiff concerning possible settlement, and conferring with defense counsel's supervisor, defense counsel in good faith finds that a settlement conference would not be a good use of resources.” Having considered defendants' motion, and good cause appearing, the Court grants the motion to opt out of an early settlement conference. A settlement conference may be scheduled at a later date, if appropriate.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
