ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

RETURN PLAINTIFF’S PROPOSED

SETTLEMENT OFFER TO PLAINTIFF 

 Tremaine Hunter (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the instant action in the

Fresno County Superior Court on November 29, 2006. The action was removed to Federal court

by the Defendants and received on January 24, 2007. 

By Order of the Court, an Scheduling Conference was set for March 6, 2007. However,

as the Court had not yet screened the case under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, the scheduling

conference was vacated. On February 1, 2007, the Court screened the case and dismissed the

Complaint with leave to amend. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on February 26, 2007,

that this was also served on the Defendants. Plaintiff is not required to submit to the Court

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to return Plaintiff’s Proposed Settlement Offer to

the Plaintiff. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
