UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREEM J. HOWELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

L. ANDRICHAK, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-0792 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights complaint 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff alleges that defendants L. Andrichak, S. Chaiken and M. 

Schneider were deliberately indifferent to plaintiff’s serious mental health needs, and deprived

him of group therapy and outdoor exercise, in violation of the Eighth Amendment, resulting in 

plaintiff’s suicidal thoughts. On November 21, 2016, defendants filed a motion to opt out of the 

post-screening ADR project. After reviewing the motion, the court finds good cause to grant 

defendants’ motion.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendants’ motion to opt out (ECF No. 31) is granted and the stay of this action is 

lifted; and

2. By separate order, the court will set a schedule for this case.

Dated: November 29, 2016
