Case No. 13-cv-05864-PJH 

ORDER REFERRING CASE FOR 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 78, 79 

This is a civil rights case brought pro se by a state prisoner. Defendant’s motion 

for summary judgment was denied and this case was referred for a settlement 

conference with Magistrate Judge Vadas. The settlement conference was scheduled for 

March 10, 2016, at Solano State Prison. A Writ of Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum was 

issued for plaintiff to transfer him from his facility, Salinas Valley State Prison, to Solano 

State Prison for the settlement conference. A conference call was held between plaintiff, 

the attorney for defendant, and Magistrate Judge Vadas on March 1, 2016, and the 

matter remained set for the settlement conference. 

On March 3, 2016, plaintiff was to be transported to Solano State Prison for the 

settlement conference the following week. Prison officials at Salinas Valley State Prison 

reported that plaintiff refused to board the bus to be transported to Solano State Prison. 

Due to plaintiff’s refusal to participate in the settlement conference, Magistrate Judge 

Vadas vacated the settlement conference and returned the case to the undersigned. 

Plaintiff has filed a letter stating that he did not know that he was to be transported 

to Solano State Prison on March 3, 2016, and prison officials came to transport him at 

5:00 am. Plaintiff states he had not packed, he was not provided enough time to pack,
