UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL J. PAYAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

TATE, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00807 LJO DLB PC

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANTS 

TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE

Plaintiff Michael J. Payan (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on 

Plaintiff’s October 19, 2015, First Amended Complaint. 

The Court’s January 26, 2016, Findings and Recommendations granting in part Defendants’ 

motion for summary judgment based on exhaustion is pending.

On February 17, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for a settlement conference. This action was 

previously set for a settlement conference in January 2015, after the parties agreed that a settlement 

conference would be beneficial. However, after submitting their confidential settlement conference 

statement, Defendants’ counsel indicated that she did not have authority to settle the action, and the 

conference was vacated.

Given Plaintiff’s current request and the possibility that the posture of this action has altered 

Defendants’ position, the Court ORDERS Defendants to inform the Court whether a settlement

conference will be beneficial. Defendants SHALL file a response to Plaintiff’s motion within 

fourteen (14) days of the date of service of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
