UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDRES C. HERNANDEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

PATRICK COVELLO et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:21-cv-1948 DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. Plaintiff alleges that defendant was deliberately indifferent to the risks presented by the 

COVID-19 pandemic in violation of plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment rights. On June 5, 2023, the 

court referred this case to the court’s post-screening ADR project and stayed the case for 120 

days. (ECF No. 22.) On September 6, 2023, defendant filed a motion to opt out of the postscreening ADR project. (ECF No. 27.) After reviewing the motion, the court finds good cause to 

grant defendants’ motion.
