STEVEN DEL TORO, Plaintiff, v. VASUKI DARAM, et al., Defendant.
ORDER
ALLISON CLAIRE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed May 20, 2023, this case was referred to the court's Post-Screening ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) Project and stayed for a period of 120 days. ECF No. 28. That order provided defendant the opportunity to request opting out of the ADR Project based on a good faith belief that a settlement conference would be a waste of resources. Id. at 2. Defendant Daram now requests to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project. ECF No. 3. Having reviewed the request, the court finds good cause to grant it.
Defendant Schultz has yet to be served. See ECF No. 30.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Defendant's motion to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project (ECF No. 31) is GRANTED.
2. The ADR stay of this action, commencing May 30, 2023 (ECF No. 28), is LIFTED.
3. Within twenty-one days of the filing of this order, defendant Daram shall file a response to the complaint.
