UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES PABLO PATTERSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:12-cv-01948-JLT (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION 

FOR SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

(Doc. 76)

Plaintiff, James Pablo Patterson, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on November 

30, 2012 (Doc. 1) and is proceeding on the Second Amended Complaint on claims of deliberate 

indifference to Plaintiff's safety under the Eighth Amendment against Defendants Warden C. 

Lawless, Sergeant Finegan, and Correctional Officers S. Corona and R. Borbon (Docs. 21, 22).

On June 22, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting this action be referred for settlement 

conference. (Doc. 76.) Defendants recently replied that they do not believe a settlement 

conference would be beneficial at this time, but that it may be productive at a later stage in the 

litigation. (Doc. 79.) The Court will not expend its limited resources on a settlement conference 

where both sides do not believe it would be beneficial to do so.
