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 KJN P (TEMP)

ORDER

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

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On July 20, 2015, then-Magistrate Judge Dale A. Drozd informed the parties that the court 

was going to set this matter for a mandatory settlement conference. The court ordered the parties 

to inform the court in writing as to whether they wished to proceed with the settlement conference 

before the assigned magistrate judge or if they wish to be referred to the court’s mediation 

program. Defense counsel has filed a notice of waiver of disqualification and requests the 

assigned magistrate judge participate in the settlement conference. Plaintiff has not responded to 

the court’s order. In the interest of justice, the court will grant plaintiff an additional fourteen 

days to respond to the court’s order. Plaintiff’s failure to respond will result in a recommendation 

for dismissal of this action.
