DBEBORAH BARNES, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.

ORDER

DBEBORAH BARNES, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff proceeds on his complaint filed on July 25, (ECF No. 1), with claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 premised on the alleged denial of outdoor exercise and retaliation. On August 28, 2023, defendants filed a motion to opt out of the post-screening ADR project. After reviewing the motion, the court finds good cause to grant defendants' motion.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. Defendants' motion to opt out (ECF No. 21) is granted and the stay of this action is lifted;

2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, defendants shall file a responsive pleading.
