UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PETER BURCHETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

JANE DOE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00055-NONE-EPG (PC)

ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S NOTICE 

REGARDING EARLY SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE

(ECF NO. 73)

Peter Burchett (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On April 8, 2020, Plaintiff filed a notice regarding early settlement conference. (ECF No. 

73). In the notice, Plaintiff asks for an update regarding whether the early settlement conference 

will occur. Plaintiff also asks for the settlement conference be continued, and to have the 

undersigned conduct the settlement conference.

Plaintiff filed his notice prior to Defendant Ramirez’s deadline to opt-out of the settlement 

conference. Defendant Ramirez recently requested an extension of that deadline (ECF No. 74), 

and now has until June 12, 2020, to either contact the Alternative Dispute Resolution coordinator 

to schedule a settlement conference or to file a notice opting out of the settlement conference

(ECF No. 75).

As no settlement conference has been set, Plaintiff’s request to continue the settlement 

conference is DENIED.

As to Plaintiff’s request to have the undersigned conduct the settlement conference, it is 

also DENIED. Pursuant to this Court’s procedures, the undersigned will not be the Magistrate 

Judge overseeing the settlement conference. (ECF No. 72, p. 2 n.3). If both parties want the 

undersigned to conduct a settlement conference in this case, they may file a joint request to have 

the undersigned conduct the conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
