UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WILLIAM BARKER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R. YASSINE, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:11-cv-00246 KJM AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner represented by counsel who proceeds in this civil rights action 

against sole defendant Correctional Officer R. Yassine. Plaintiff’s remaining claim, for which he 

seeks damages, is that defendant Yassine employed excessive force against plaintiff in violation 

of the Eighth Amendment’s proscription against cruel and unusual punishment. By order filed 

September 30, 2015, the district judge denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment and 

referred this case back to the undersigned magistrate judge for further proceedings. See ECF No. 

123 (Order declining to adopt the undersigned’s Findings and Recommendations filed March 3, 

2015, ECF No. 118). 

Before scheduling this case for trial, the court will inquire into the parties’ interests in 

participating in a settlement conference mediated by another magistrate judge.
