FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RANARD GASTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DONG,

Defendant.

No. 2:19-cv-01287-TLN-CKD

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 13, 2020, the court stayed this case for 120 days for 

purposes of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). On May 11, 2020, defendant filed a motion to 

opt out of the ADR pilot project due, in part, to plaintiff’s release from incarceration. ECF No. 

17. Plaintiff has not notified the court of any change in address as required by Local Rule 183(b). 

Therefore, the court is unable to schedule, much less conduct, a settlement conference without 

further information from plaintiff. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within 21 days from the date of this order, plaintiff shall notify the court of his current 

address as required by Local Rule 183(b).

2. Plaintiff shall inform the court if he is willing to participate in a settlement conference

or otherwise respond to defendant’s motion to opt out of the post-screening ADR
