UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH LEE TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

v.

KUERSTON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-00450 DJC CSK P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding through counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s request for re-referral to a settlement 

conference. (ECF No. 198.) Defendants have opposed this request. (ECF No. 199.) For the 

reasons stated herein, plaintiff’s request is denied without prejudice.

On June 12, 2024, this Court conducted a settlement conference in this action via zoom. 

This action did not settle. In the pending request, plaintiff requests that that the court set a further 

settlement conference in person. Defendants’ opposition asserts they believe no further 

negotiations would be productive. (ECF No. 199 at 1.)

Having considered plaintiff’s request, and defendants’ representation that a further 

settlement conference would not be productive, this Court denies plaintiff’s request for rereferral to a settlement conference without prejudice.
