UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

PAUL D. ROBERTS, 

Plaintiff, 

v.

M.D. McDONALD, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-00474-MCE-DAD P 

ORDER 

This is a prisoner civil rights action that Plaintiff and Defendants voluntarily 

dismissed pursuant to a settlement agreement in September 2014. Plaintiff has since 

filed two motions seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement. ECF Nos. 97, 99.1 

 Plaintiff claims that he settled this case for $4,150.00 and another case (Roberts 

v. CDCR, 2:12-cv-0247-KJM-AC (PC)) for $1,000.00. Plaintiff states in his motions that 

he has thus far received only $257.50 (and $150 of that amount went towards payment 

of his only restitution fine). Plaintiff seeks payment of the remaining $4,892.50 owed to 

him under the settlement agreement. Defendants have not responded to Plaintiff’s 

allegations. 

 1 Although Plaintiff labels his filings as motions to re-open this case, the substance of the motions 

indicates that he actually seeks enforcement of his settlement agreement. See, e.g., Pl.’s Mot. at 2

(“plaintiff seeks to re-open this case to [e]nforce payment of the settlement agreements”). Cf. Fed. Rules

Civ. P. 59 and 60.
