SACRAMENTO CITY POLICE

DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a former county jail inmate proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights

action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 20, 2010, the court set a mandatory

settlement conference in this case. The court also directed the parties, pursuant to Local Rule

270(b), to inform the court in writing as to whether they wished to proceed with that mandatory

settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate judge or if they wished to proceed

before a randomly-assigned magistrate judge. 

As of the date of this order, the parties have consented to the undersigned

conducting all further proceedings in this case. However, the parties must still inform the court

whether they wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate

judge, and waive any future disqualification of the undersigned from presiding over future

proceedings in the case as a result, or would request a randomly-assigned settlement judge.
