UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT CURTIS WILLIAMS, III,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALI,

Defendant.

No. 2:21-cv-01877-DAD-CKD P

ORDER

 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 7, 2022, the court referred this matter to the 

Post-Screening ADR Project. The case was stayed for 120 days and defense counsel was ordered 

to file a motion to opt-out of ADR within 60 days if it was determined that a settlement 

conference would be a waste of resources. ECF No. 24 at 2. The order further directed that 

during the stay of the action, “no other pleadings or other documents may be filed.” ECF No. 24 

at 2. Following an extension of time to file a motion to opt-out, defendant filed a motion for 

summary judgment on October 4, 2022 while this case was stayed. ECF No. 29. The court will 

strike the motion as being filed in violation of a court order and will reset the deadline for filing a 

motion to opt-out of the ADR Project. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 29) is stricken from the docket
