ORDER REFERRING CASE TO

PRO SE PRISONER MEDIATION

PROGRAM; STAYING CASE;

INSTRUCTIONS TO CLERK

Plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se and incarcerated at Pelican Bay State Prison

(“PBSP”), filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After a review of the complaint,

plaintiff’s allegations, when liberally construed, were found to state cognizable claims

against PBSP officials for a violation of his Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel

and unusual punishment. The Marshal has served the complaint upon defendants, and

defendants have filed an answer. 

In the August 20, 2007 Order of Service, this case was found suitable for mediation

proceedings and indicated that upon the defendants’ filing of an answer, the case would be

referred to the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program. As defendants have now answered, and

good cause appearing, the instant case will be referred to Magistrate Judge Vadas for

mediation proceedings pursuant to the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program. The proceedings

will consist of one or more conferences as determined by the mediator. The proceedings

shall take place within 90 days of the date this order is filed. Magistrate Judge Vadas shall
