UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN MARTIN,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. MASURET et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:10-cv-0189 WBS DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 22, 2013, the undersigned issued findings and 

recommendations, recommending that the motion for summary judgment filed on behalf of 

defendant Hamad be denied. On September 13, 2013, the assigned district judge adopted those 

findings and recommendations in full and denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment. 

In due course, the court will issue a further scheduling order setting dates for pretrial 

statements, pretrial conference, and jury trial. However, before issuing the scheduling order, the 

court will set a mandatory settlement conference in this case. If available, the court may order 

that plaintiff participate in the settlement conference by way of video-conferencing. Pursuant to 

Local Rule 270(b), the parties will be directed to inform the court in writing as to whether they 

wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate judge or if they 

wish to be referred to the court’s mediation program.
