IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVONNI LEE JACKSON, SR.,

Plaintiff, No. 2:08-cv-2121 MCE KJN P

vs.

E.J. NORBERG, 

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel. On April 28, 2010,

plaintiff filed a motion asking the court to grant him judgment based on defendant’s alleged

failure to file a pretrial statement. However, on April 23, 2010, defendant filed a pretrial

statement. Accordingly, plaintiff’s request will be denied.

On March 3, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for assistance in settlement

negotiations. Plaintiff alleges there is “no defense that the defendant can provide to exonerate

himself.” (Id. at 1.) However, in defendant’s pretrial statement (“PTS”), defendant set forth

eight disputed facts. (Deft.’s PTS at 2-3.) Defendant also stated that he “does not anticipate a

settlement in this case.” (Id. at 9.) Because there are material disputes of fact between plaintiff

and defendant, it appears a settlement conference would not be fruitful. This case will proceed to

jury trial before the district judge on August 30, 2010. Plaintiff’s motion will be denied.
