UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LUIS MANUEL GARCES,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. GAMBOA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:21-cv-00392-JLT-EPG (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

(ECF No. 189).

On November 15, 2023, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting that the Court set a settlement 

conference in this case. (ECF No. 189). The Court directed Defendants to file a response. (ECF 

No. 190). On November 30, 2023, Defendants filed a response indicating that “scheduling a 

settlement conference at this stage is unlikely to resolve the claims brought forth in this action 

and would not be a productive use of the Court’s and parties’ time and resources.” (ECF No. 196, 

p. 1). 

Accordingly, the Court will DENY Plaintiff’s request, and will not order a settlement 

conference at this time.

1 Even without a settlement conference, Plaintiff may send defense counsel a written settlement offer at 

any time.

Further, Plaintiff is advised that the Court previously directed Defendants to file an 

updated report regarding settlement fourteen days after a final ruling on dispositive motions to the 

extent any claims remain, or if no dispositive motions are filed, fourteen days following the 

deadline for dispositive motions. (See ECF No. 160). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
