UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CURTIS LEE HENDERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. SMITH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00287-LJO-SAB-PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR A SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE

(ECF NO. 41)

Plaintiff Curtis Lee Henderson is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this 

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 9, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion, 

requesting the Court to schedule a settlement conference. (ECF No. 41.) On April 14, 2016, an 

order was entered, directing service of process of the August 24, 2015, second amended 

complaint on Defendants Jackson and Smith. (ECF No. 39.) Defendants have not filed an 

answer, or entered an appearance. Until such time as Defendants have filed a responsive 

pleading and both parties indicate an interest in a settlement conference, Plaintiff’s request is 

premature. The Court will entertain such a request early but once all defendants have answered.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for a settlement 

conference is DENIED as premature. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 10, 2016
