UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Sebastian Blount (“Plaintiff”) is a former California state prisoner proceeding pro se 

and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is 

proceeding against Defendants Lopez and Abraham for violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Defendants did not file a dispositive motion prior to the February 12, 2015, dispositive motion 

deadline. The Court therefore issued a Second Scheduling Order on February 19, 2015. Trial is set 

for June 23, 2015.

On March 19, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Settlement Conference. He states that a 

settlement conference would be beneficial at this time.
