UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHRISTIAN PFEIFFER, et al.

Defendants.

No. 1:23-cv-01232-SAB (PC)

ORDER VACATING SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE, LIFTING STAY OF CASE, 

AND DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

ISSUE THE DISCOVERY AND 

SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF Nos. 22, 23) 

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On July 16, 2024, the Court issued an order referring this case to the Court’s Alternative 

Dispute Resolution Program, set the case for a settlement conference on October 29, 2024, before 

Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe, and stayed the case. (ECF No. 22.) The Court advised 

defense counsel that counsel could opt-out of the settlement conference with thirty days. (Id.) 

On August 15, 2024, Defendant filed a motion to opt-out of the settlement conference 

because after investigation she believes a settlement conference would be unproductive at this 

time. (ECF No. 23.) 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The settlement conference set for October 29, 2024, before Magistrate Judge 

Barbara A. McAuliffe is VACATED;
