ORDER
JAMES E. GATES, Magistrate Judge.
This case, brought by pro se plaintiff Keith Edward Frazier ("plaintiff"), comes before the court on his motion (D.E. 73) for a settlement conference. Defendant Jerry Seighman ("defendant"), the only remaining defendant, opposes the motion. (See D.E. 74).
The court finds that the record does not presently demonstrate a sufficient likelihood that a settlement conference would be productive to merit the convening of a conference. Aside from defendant's opposition, a scheduling order has not yet been entered and therefore no discovery has yet been undertaken. The record does not otherwise justify convening a settlement conference at this this time.
Plaintiff's motion for a court-hosted settlement conference is accordingly DENIED. This denial is without prejudice to either party bringing such a motion in the future after a material change in the circumstances of this case.
SO ORDERED.
