UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JON CHRIST, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R. BLACKWELL, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:10-cv-0760-EFB P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. He has filed a motion for sanctions against defense counsel. ECF No. 185. 

Plaintiff believes that defense counsel has attempted to get plaintiff to violate this court’s order of 

September 9, 2015 (ECF No. 178) soliciting confidential settlement statements by asking plaintiff 

to provide defense counsel with a settlement demand. The court hereby informs plaintiff that 

defense counsel’s request does not violate that order. Defense counsel has not asked plaintiff for 

his confidential settlement statement. The parties are encouraged to discuss and negotiate 

settlement outside of the court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program. Accordingly, 

plaintiff’s motion for sanctions (ECF No. 185) is DENIED. 

 So ordered. 

DATED: November 13, 2015.
