(Docket No. 50)

Plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed the instant civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against officials of the Salinas Valley State Prison

cognizable claim of excessive force against Defendant Thomas Madrid.1

 On December

for settlement proceedings. (Docket No. 39.) On March 31, 2015, Judge Vadas entered

an order notifying the Court that “[t]he case has been completely settled” and that a

further telephonic status conference would be held. (Docket No. 45.) On April 7, 2015,

the Court received a copy of a “Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice”

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1) signed by both parties. The signed stipulation states:

Plaintiff Paren Hasmukbhai Patel and Defendant Madrid have resolved this

case in its entirety. Therefore, the parties stipulate to a dismissal of this action

with prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii).

Each party shall bear its own litigation costs and attorney’s fees.

(Docket No. 46 at 2.) The Court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the parties’

settlement.

THAT this action and all claims asserted herein against defendants are DISMISSED

parties’ settlement. Plaintiff has requested a status conference so that he may learn the

status of the settlement. (Docket No. 50.) Plaintiff’s request is DENIED. However, the

Court orders that Defendants file a status report detailing the status of the settlement

agreement by July 24, 2015.
