RUBEN ODELL BOULWARE, Plaintiff, v. D. M. DUNSTAN, Defendant.
ORDER RE LETTER FILED
OCTOBER 10, 2011
(Docket No. 23.)
On October 10, 2011, Nicole Roman, Counsel for Defendant, filed a letter with the Court, informing the Court of a telephone conversation that she had with Plaintiff on October 5, 2011. In that conversation, Plaintiff informed Counsel that he is unable to personally attend the pending settlement conference due to travel restrictions imposed as a condition of his parole.
Plaintiff is hereby informed that pursuant to the Court's order entered September 26, 2011, he has been ordered to appear at the settlement conference on October 20, 2011, in San Francisco. Plaintiff is directed to explain this matter to his parole officer and to request permission to travel to the settlement conference. If Plaintiff's parole officer has any questions regarding this matter, he should contact the Court at 707-445-3612.
In her letter of October 10, 2011, Counsel for Defendant also requests permission to have Jason Hurtado, the authorized representative for the CDCR, appear at the settlement conference telephonically. While the Court appreciates the budgetary constraints faced by the State of California, the Court has found that the presence of the CDCR representative is crucial to the success of settlement conferences in these types of cases. The Court therefore DENIES the request to have the CDCR representative appear telephonically at the settlement conference. IT IS SO ORDERED.
