Opinion


DAVID M. DAVID, Plaintiff, v. N. GRANNIS et al., Defendants. No. 2:11-cv-2784 KJM DAD P United States District Court, E.D. California. March 13, 2015

          ORDER

          DALE A. DROZD, Magistrate Judge.

         Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 30, 2014, the undersigned issued a discovery and scheduling order in this case that required the parties to file all pretrial motions on or before February 13, 2015. The court advised the parties that it would set pretrial conference and trial dates, as appropriate, after adjudication of any dispositive motion or upon expiration of the time for filing such a motion.

         Neither party has filed a dispositive motion, and the time for doing so has now expired. In due course, the court will issue a further scheduling order setting dates for pretrial statements, pretrial conference, and jury trial. However, before issuing the scheduling order, the court will set a mandatory settlement conference in this case. If available, the court may order that plaintiff participate in the settlement conference by way of video-conferencing. Pursuant to Local Rule 270(b), the parties will be directed to inform the court in writing as to whether they wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate judge or if they wish to be referred to the court's mediation program.

         Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

         1. Within twenty-one days of the date of this order, each party shall inform the court in writing as to whether they wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate judge or if they wish to be referred to the court's mediation program. If the parties wish to proceed before the undersigned magistrate judge, each party shall return to the court the consent form for settlement conferences provided with this order. If the parties do not wish the undersigned magistrate judge to preside at the settlement conference, each party shall file a declaration stating he wishes to be referred to the court's mediation program; and

         2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send each party the consent form for settlement conferences.
