believe, in good faith, that settlement in this case is a possibility and whether they are interested in 

having a settlement conference scheduled by the Court.1 

If the parties wish to have a settlement conference scheduled, Defendant’s counsel shall notify 

the Court whether there are security concerns that would prohibit scheduling a settlement conference. 

If security concerns exist, counsel shall notify the Court whether those concerns can be adequately 

addressed if Plaintiff is transferred for settlement only and then returned to Coalinga State Hospital for 

housing.

Accordingly, within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff and 

Defendant shall file a written response to this order. If a settlement conference is set by the Court, 

then the Court will issue a separate order indicating each of the parties’ responsibilities regarding the 

settlement conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
