Plaintiff,

v.

CDCR, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER REGARDING 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

14-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Cesario Medina is a state prisoner appearing pro se in this civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court has held that this case may proceed on Plaintiff’s Eighth

Amendment claims of excessive force against Investigative Services Unit (ISU) Officers Anthony

Arisco and Joe Luis at California State Prison in Corcoran. (ECF No. 39). Defendants have filed 

an Answer. (ECF No. 45). All parties have filed their scheduling and discovery statements. (ECF 

Nos. 47 & 48).

The Court has reviewed this case and the parties’ statements. Defendants indicate that 

“they will be prepared to participate in a settlement conference in 60 days, or after April 23, 

2024.” (ECF No. 48 at 2). Plaintiff states that he is “prepared for a settlement conference.” (ECF 

No. 47). 

Accordingly, the Court directs the parties to participate in a settlement conference, as soon 

as possible after April 23, 2024, to see if the case can reach an early settlement. Neither side is 

waiving any claims, defenses, or objections by participating in this settlement conference.
