UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY HOWARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

EDGAR CLARK,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:10-cv-01783 DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING STATUS OF 

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

Plaintiff Timothy Howard (“Plaintiff’) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 14, 2014, this action, along with three other of Plaintiff’s cases, settled. 

On June 29, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for a telephonic status conference. Pursuant to 

the Court’s order, Defendant filed a response on July 3, 2015.

The Court has reviewed Defendant’s status report and the accompanying declaration of 

Paul J. Cooney. It appears that Plaintiff believes that Defendant cannot pay the settlement funds 

into his prison trust account, and that Defendant’s attempts to explain the process to Plaintiff have 

failed.

issue.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
