R. YASSINE, 

Defendant.

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE, and 

JOINT PRETRIAL STATEMENT 

 Plaintiff William Barker is a state prisoner represented by counsel who proceeds in this 

civil rights action against defendant Correctional Officer R. Yassine. Plaintiff seeks damages 

pursuant to his claim that defendant employed excessive force against him in violation of the 

Eighth Amendment’s proscription against cruel and unusual punishment. Defendant’s motion for 

summary judgment was denied by order filed September 30, 2015. ECF No. 123. On March 24, 

2016, the parties participated in a mediation conference but the case did not settle. ECF No. 131. 

Thereafter, counsel for both parties filed statements reflecting their availability to proceed to trial, 

which they agree should not exceed three days. See ECF Nos. 133-34. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. A Pretrial Conference is scheduled before the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller, on 

Friday, July 1, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom No. 3.
