Plaintiff Lance Elder brings this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that his Eighth Amendment rights were violated while he was incarcerated at Three Lakes Valley Conservation Camp and working in the firefighting program. ECF No. 7. Previously, the Court stayed this action for 90 days and ordered the parties to mediate before a court-appointed mediator on August 11, 2023. ECF Nos. 9, 12. Thereafter, counsel entered an appearance on behalf of Plaintiff. ECF No. 13.
