UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

STEVEN DEL TORO, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

VASUKI DARAM, et al., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:22-cv-0725 DJC AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a 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 May 20, 2023, 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. 28. That order provided defendant 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. Defendant Daram1

 now requests to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR 

Project. ECF No. 3. Having reviewed the request, the court finds good cause to grant it. 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Defendant’s motion to opt out of the Post-Screening ADR Project (ECF No. 31) is 

GRANTED.
