JOSEPH A. CASTRO, Plaintiff, v. RALPH DIAZ, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
KENDALL J. NEWMAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 8, 2022, the undersigned issued a minute order setting this action for a settlement conference on September 6, 2022. (ECF No. 21.) The minute order directed the parties to exchange non-confidential settlement conference statement seven days prior to the settlement conference. (Id.) The minute order stated that these statements shall be simultaneously mailed or delivered to the court at the undersigned's email address. (Id.)
On June 16, 2022, plaintiff filed a request for clarification of the June 8, 2022 minute order. (ECF No. 22.) Plaintiff states that he does not understand what a settlement conference statement is or what should be in it. Plaintiff is informed that the settlement conference statement is a document addressing the resolution of this action plaintiff seeks at the settlement conference. For example, the settlement conference statement shall address plaintiff's explanation of the underlying facts and the amount of money plaintiff seeks in a settlement, if appropriate.
In the June 16, 2022 request, plaintiff states that he is unable to send his settlement conference statement to the court via the undersigned's email address. Plaintiff may mail his settlement conference statement to the undersigned. Plaintiff shall clearly mark this document as his settlement conference statement.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's request for clarification (ECF No. 22) is deemed resolved.
