IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM STEPHENSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

STEPHANIE CLENDENIN, DIRECTOR,

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

HOSPITALS; and BRANDON PRICE, 

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COALINGA 

STATE HOSPITAL,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:22-cv-01521-DAD-JDP(PC)

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING 

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO OPT OUT 

OF EARLY SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE

Defendants have filed a motion to opt out of an early settlement conference, which 

indicates that “[a]fter investigating plaintiff’s claims, meeting and conferring with plaintiff 

concerning possible settlement, and conferring with defense counsel’s supervisor, defense 

counsel in good faith finds that a settlement conference would not be a good use of resources.” 

Having considered defendants’ motion, and good cause appearing, the Court grants the motion to 

opt out of an early settlement conference. A settlement conference may be scheduled at a later 

date, if appropriate.
