UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES MCCLOUGH,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

JIMMY KEENER, et al.,

 Defendants.

1:12-cv-02076-LJO-GSA-PC

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS TO 

NOTIFY COURT WHETHER A 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE WOULD 

BE BENEFICIAL

TEN-DAY DEADLINE 

On February 26, 2015, the court issued an order requiring the parties to this action to 

notify the court, within thirty days, whether a settlement conference would be beneficial in this 

action. (Doc. 32.) On March 24, 2015, Plaintiff McClough filed a response to the order, 

notifying the court that he had contacted defense counsel, and they were in agreement that a 

settlement conference would be beneficial and would request the court to set a date for a 

settlement conference at the court. (Doc. 33.) The thirty-day period has expired, and 

Defendants have not filed a response to the court’s order.

Before scheduling a settlement conference for this case, the court requires a written 

response from Defendants verifying their agreement that a settlement conference would be 

beneficial. Defendants shall be required to file a written response to the court within ten days.
