UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Virgil E. Holt is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

This case is currently set for jury trial before the undersigned on January 19, 2016. 

Now pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for a court ordered telephonic settlement 

conference, filed September 24, 2015. (ECF No. 161.) 

On August 24, 2015, the Court directed the parties to submit confidential statements regarding 

case selection for the prisoner settlement program. (ECF No. 152.) In that order the Court stated that 

after submission of the confidential statements, “[s]hould the Court determine this action to be 

appropriate for referral to the Prisoner Settlement Program, the Court will set this matter for a 

settlement conference before a magistrate judge or district judge.” (ECF No. 152, Order at 2:3-5.)
