ORDER REQUIRING THE DEFENDANTS 

ANSWER THE COMPLAINT WITHIN THIRTY 

DAYS OF THIS ORDER

Plaintiff Dyrell Wayne Jones is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil

rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 18, 2019, the court referred this case 

for post-screening Alternative Dispute Resolution and set a settlement conference date of January 

30, 2020. ECF No. 27. On January 21, 2020, the court was informed that a serious medical issue 

will prevent plaintiff from attending the conference. 

The order setting the case for conference, ECF No. 27, is hereby vacated, and the stay is 

lifted. The writ for plaintiff to testify, ECF No. 30, is hereby withdrawn. 

At the request of the parties, the court may schedule a new settlement conference at a 

future date. However, the court believes that the interest of efficient justice is best served by 

having the case proceed. Within thirty days of the date of this order, defendants shall answer
