UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SANTANA PORTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. ALVARO C. TRAQUINA,

Defendant.

No. 2:12-cv-2266 TLN DAD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Neither party has filed a dispositive motion in this case, and the timing for doing so has 

now expired. In due course, the court will issue a further scheduling order setting dates for 

pretrial statements, pretrial conference, and jury trial. However, before issuing the scheduling 

order, the court will set a mandatory settlement conference in this case. If available, the court 

may order that plaintiff participate in the settlement conference by way of video-conferencing.

Pursuant to Local Rule 270(b), the parties will be directed to inform the court in writing as to 

whether they wish to proceed with the settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate 

judge or if they wish to be referred to the court’s mediation program.
