ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO OPT OUT OF EARLY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 14, 2019, the undersigned referred this action to the Post-Screening ADR Project and stayed this action for 120 days. (ECF No. 16.) Pending before the court is Defendant's motion to opt out of the ADR Project. Plaintiff has not opposed the motion. For the reasons stated herein, Defendant's motion is granted.

Defendant states that a settlement conference is not warranted based on the nature of the claim and the perceived merits of the claim. After reviewing Defendant's motion, the undersigned finds that Defendant's request to opt out of the ADR project should be granted.

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant's motion to opt out of the ADR Project is granted; 2. The settlement conference scheduled for February 26, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. is vacated; 3. The stay in this action is lifted; and 4. Defendant Uddin shall file a response to plaintiff's complaint within 14 days.
