JOHN EDWARD MITCHELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. CHURCH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:18-cv-01083-JLT (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS TO 

FILE A RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION

(Doc. 37)

On March 12, 2020, the Court stayed this matter and set it for a settlement conference 

before Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone on June 10, 2020. (Doc. 34.) The Court directed the 

parties to submit confidential settlement statements to Judge Boone’s chambers by June 3, 2020. 

(Id. at 2.) Except for a “Notice of Submission of Confidential Settlement Statement,” the Court 

ordered the parties not to file any documents in this case during the stay. (Id. at 1, 2.) 

On April 16, 2020, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting an order under the All Writs Act to 

direct the Secretary of CDCR “or any other person(s) this Court deems appropriate to produce 

plaintiff’s legal property and documents” pertaining to this case. (Doc. 37.) Plaintiff declares that 

it is not possible for him to settle this matter because prison authorities are holding all of his 

“legal/personal property.” (Id. at 2.)

Although the Court directed the parties not to file any documents during the stay of this 

action, because the present motion relates to the Court’s additional order to prepare and submit a
