ORDER REFERRING CASE TO FEDERAL

PRISONER PRO BONO PROJECT

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action. Plaintiff claimed

that defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth

settlement proceedings have fully resolved the claims in this case, this matter is ready for trial.
