UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VICTOR HUGO MARTINEZ, 

Plaintiffs,

v.

LAWLESS, et al.,

Defendants.

1:12-cv-01301-LJO-SKO (PC) 

ORDER REQUIRING PARTIES TO NOTIFY 

COURT WHETHER A SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE WOULD BE BENEFICIAL 

TWENTY-ONE (21) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff, Victor Hugo Martinez, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 9, 2012. Dispositive motions 

have been filed and were recently ruled on. Plaintiff proceeds forward only on his claims of 

excessive force against Defendants Herrera and Morse and for failure-to-protect against 

Defendants Chamberlin and Molina. (See Docs. 52, 56.) The possibility of settlement must be 

explored before this action will be set for trial.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED, that within twenty-one (21) days of the date of 

service of this order, the parties shall file statements indicating whether they believe, in good 

faith, that settlement is a possibility in this case and whether a settlement conference would be 

beneficial. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 5, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto
