IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEON GRAY,

Plaintiff, No. 2:10-cv-1928 TLN EFB P

vs.

DAGE,

Defendant. ORDER FOLLOWING STATUS CONFERENCE

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding through counsel in an action brought under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Following the hearing on defendant’s motion for summary judgment, this case

was set for a status conference, which was held before the undersigned on May 8, 2013. 

Attorney Robert Kitay appeared on behalf of plaintiff; attorney Lynne Stocker appeared on

behalf of defendant. The parties requested that a settlement conference be set, however defense

counsel needs additional time to determine whether to request that the conference be held before

a magistrate judge other than the assigned magistrate judge. The parties also requested

additional time to designate and depose experts. Good cause appearing therefor, and for the

reasons stated on the record, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that:

1. The June 18, 2013 trial date is vacated.

this order, each party shall inform the court in writing as to whether they wish to proceed with

the settlement conference before the undersigned or before another magistrate judge. If the

parties wish to proceed before the undersigned, each party shall file appropriate waivers of the

doing so are provided with this order. If the parties do not wish the undersigned to preside at the

settlement conference, each party shall file a notice stating so. The parties shall also suggest

dates on which they are available for a settlement conference.
