ALFRED CATALANI, Plaintiff, v. STATE OF NEVADA et al., Defendants.
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
On June 5, 2014, this Court entered a screening order on the second amended complaint and stayed the case for 90 days to give the parties an opportunity to engage in informal settlement discussions. (ECF No. 24, 27). The Office of the Attorney General has filed its status report indicating that this case is one of three prisoner civil rights cases being litigated by the same attorney for the same event. (ECF No. 35 at 1). Of the three cases, one has been ordered to court-appointed mediation. (Id.). The case that has been ordered to attend court-appointed mediation is the "lead case" and will determine the resolution of the other two cases. (Id.). However, that case is set for an early mediation conference on September 14, 2014. (Id. at 1-2). Negotiations for this case will not take place until after that date. (Id. at 2).
The Court now grants an extension of the stay. The Office of the Attorney General shall file an updated status report in this case on or before Friday, September 26, 2014.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that the 90-day stay is extended until Friday, September 26, 2014. The Office of the Attorney General shall file an updated status report on or before Friday, September 26, 2014.
DATED: This 4th day of September, 2014.
