ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF THE 

COURT TO ISSUE DISCOVERY AND 

SCHEDULING ORDER

Plaintiff Joe Alfred Taylor is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

I. RELEVANT PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

On August 22, 2023, this Court issued its Order Referring Case to Post-Screening ADR 

and Staying Case for 90 Days. (Doc. 34.) Specifically, the Court ordered the parties to file notice, 

within 45 days, indicating whether they believed an early settlement conference would be 

productive in this matter. (Id. at 2.) 

Plaintiff filed notice indicating his belief an early settlement conference would be 

productive. (Doc. 35.) On October 6, 2023, Defendants filed a document titled “Defendants’

Request to Opt Out of Post-Screening ADR Project.” (Doc. 38.) The request is supported by the 

Declaration of Deputy Attorney General Shaina Alcheck. (Doc. 38-1.) Defendants indicate they 

do not believe a settlement conference would be productive. (Id., ¶ 7.) 

Because all parties do not agree an early settlement conference would be productive, the 

Court will lift the previously imposed stay and issue a discovery and scheduling order. 

II. CONCLUSION AND ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The previously imposed 90-day stay of this is action (Doc. 34) is LIFTED; 

2. Defendants’ request to opt out of early ADR (Doc. 38) is GRANTED; and

3. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to issue a discovery and scheduling order in 

this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
