IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KYLE AVERY, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1400 FCD KJM P

vs.

C. PAZOS, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prison inmate proceeding pro se with a civil rights action. On

May 3, 2007, the court granted plaintiff’s request to stay discovery proceedings. 

Plaintiff has now reported that his legal and personal property has been returned

and requests that the stay be lifted. He also requests that no orders issue until after October 12,

2007, so that he may engage in settlement negotiations with counsel for defendants; he also asks

the court to direct the parties to file status reports. Finally, he has filed a motion for the entry of

default judgment.

I. The Stay And A New Schedule

Because plaintiff has received his legal materials, it is appropriate to lift the stay. 

It is also appropriate to set a schedule for discovery; nothing prevents plaintiff from attempting

to resolve the case while discovery is proceeding.
