ALLISON CLAIRE, District Judge.
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
Before the court are plaintiff's motion for federal protection, filed April 25, 2019 (ECF No. 35), his request for records, filed April 29, 2019 (ECF No. 37), and his motion to obtain personal laptop containing evidence, filed May 6, 2019 (ECF No. 38). In addition, plaintiff has filed a notice re: settlement conference.
On April 1, 2019, the court issued an order referring this matter to its Post-Screening Alternative Dispute Resolution Project. ECF No. 27. As a result, the matter has been stayed for 120 days so that the parties can investigate plaintiff's claims, meet and confer, and participate in a settlement conference.
On April 25, 2019, in the process of denying a discovery-related motion and a motion for a change in defense counsel filed by plaintiff, the court reminded plaintiff of the stay in this action, and informed him that the court would not consider filings presented to it that were not related to the pending, court-ordered settlement conference proceedings.
The instant motion for federal protection and the motion to obtain plaintiff's personal laptop are not related to the pending court-ordered settlement proceedings, nor is plaintiff's request for records.
To the extent that plaintiff states in his notice re: settlement conference document that he did not receive notice of the settlement proceedings (
Nevertheless, on the off-chance that plaintiff has still not received the court's April 1, 2019 stay order, the court will direct the Clerk of Court to provide plaintiff with a copy of it. In that order, of immediate importance to plaintiff should be the Notice Re: Plaintiff's Appearance at Settlement Conference (Post-Screening ADR Project) on the last page.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
(ECF No. 38);
2. The Clerk of Court shall send plaintiff a copy of the court's Order Referring Case to Post-Screening ADR Project, issued April 1, 2019 (ECF No. 27);
3. Upon receipt of this order, plaintiff shall immediately fill out and return to the court the Notice Re: Plaintiff's Appearance at Settlement Conference (Post-Screening ADR Project).
4. If plaintiff fails to file the election notice by the deadline, if settlement proceedings take place, plaintiff will be required to participate in the proceedings in person at the Eastern District of California's courthouse located in Sacramento, California.
