UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

PAUL DEAN ROBERTS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:12-cv-00247 KJM AC P 

ORDER 

 This prisoner civil rights action was voluntarily dismissed by order filed 

September 25, 2014, pursuant to a stipulation of the parties following a settlement agreement. 

See ECF No. 57. The settlement agreement also resolved another of plaintiff’s civil rights cases, 

Case No. 2:11-cv-0474 MCE DAD P. See ECF No. 55. Several months later, plaintiff filed 

motions to reopen both cases, on the ground that defendant failed to abide by the terms of the 

parties’ settlement agreement. Specifically, plaintiff contends defendants have failed to pay to 

him the full amount agreed upon to settle both cases. 

 By order filed July 9, 2015, after obtaining further briefing by the parties, Chief 

Judge Morrison C. England, Jr., denied plaintiff’s motion to reopen in the separate case. See Case 

No. 2:11-cv-0474 MCE DAD P, ECF No. 103. For the reasons set forth in that order, plaintiff’s 

motion to reopen the instant case, ECF No. 59, will also be denied.
