EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSHUA J. CANTU,

RESOLVING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION TO ENFORCE 

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

(ECF Nos. 194, 197.)

ORDER FOR DEFENDANTS TO 

SEND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 

TO PLAINTIFF AT HIS NEW 

ADDRESS, WITHIN 10 DAYS

Joshua Cantu (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 7, 2016, a settlement conference was held before 

Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe, during which the parties negotiated a settlement 

agreement. 

On September 26, 2016, Defendants filed a motion for the Court to enforce the 

settlement agreement. (ECF No. 194.) Defendants assert that they prepared and mailed the 

settlement documents to Plaintiff, and on August 23, 2016, for reasons wholly unrelated to the 

terms of the settlement agreement, Plaintiff advised the Court that he would not sign the

prepared settlement documents. Defendants request the Court to issue an order to enforce the 

settlement agreement. 

On October 4, 2016, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to file a response to 

Defendants’ motion. (ECF No. 195.) On October 31, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice of change of 

address and a motion to have the settlement agreement mailed to him at his new address. (ECF 

No. 197.) In his motion, Plaintiff agrees to sign the settlement agreement. (Id. at 2.)

Plaintiff’s motion shall be granted. Defendants shall mail the settlement agreement to 

Plaintiff at his new address within 10 calendar days. This order resolves Defendants’ motion 

for the Court to enforce the settlement agreement.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion to have the settlement agreement mailed to him at his new 

address, filed on October 31, 2016, is GRANTED;

2. Within 10 calendar days, Defendants shall send the settlement agreement to 

Plaintiff at his new address; and

3. This order resolves Defendants’ motion for the Court to enforce the settlement 

agreement, filed on September 26, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
