ISAAC RIGGS,

Plaintiff,

v.

R.T.C. GROUNDS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-05864-PJH (NJV)

ORDER RETURING CASE TO 

DISTRICT JUDGE BECAUSE OF 

PLAINTIFF'S REFUSAL TO 

PARTICIPATE IN SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE

On November 19, 2015, Chief Judge Hamilton referred this case to the undersigned for a 

settlement conference. (Doc. 68.) On January 28, 2016, the undersigned entered an order setting 

a settlement conference for March 10, 2016, at Solano State Prison. (Doc. 71.) The undersigned 

issued a writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum requiring the Warden of Salinas Valley State 

Prison to produce Plaintiff at Solano State Prison on March 10, 2016, for the settlement 

conference. (Doc. 72.) 

On March 3, 2016, the court was informed by the administration at Salinas Valley State 

Prison that Plaintiff refused to board the bus to be transported to Solano State Prison for the 

settlement conference. By refusing to be transported to Solano State Prison, Plaintiff has 

prevented the scheduled settlement conference from occurring. The undersigned therefore 

respectfully returns the case to Chief Judge Hamilton, based on Plaintiff's refusal to participate in 

the ordered settlement conference. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 4, 2016
