UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

KENNETH HILL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SCOTT KERNAN, et al., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:19-cv-0428 WBS AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil 

rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed June 28, 2021, this case was 

referred to the court’s Post-Screening ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) Project and stayed 

for a period of 120 days. ECF No. 21. That order provided defendants the opportunity to request 

opting out of the ADR Project based on a good faith belief that a settlement conference would be 

a waste of resources. Id. at 2. Defendants now request to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR 

Project and that the stay be lifted. ECF No. 23. Having reviewed the request, the court finds 

good cause to grant it. 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Defendants’ request to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project, ECF No. 23, is 

GRANTED. 

2. The stay of this action, commencing June 28, 2021, ECF No. 21, is LIFTED.
