ORDER DENYING PLAINITFF'S MOTION FOR SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE RESCHEDULING (ECF NO. 36)

ERICA P. GROSJEAN, Magistrate Judge.

Colin Randolph ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

A settlement conference was set for April 2, 2018, at 9:30 a.m., before Magistrate Judge Jennifer L. Thurston. (ECF No. 29). On March 27, 2018, Judge Thurston issued a minute order vacating the settlement conference. The minute order stated, "In light of the information contained in the defendants' settlement conference statement that the case is NOT in a settlement posture and due to the failure of the plaintiff to provide a settlement conference statement, the settlement conference set on 4/2/2018 is VACATED." (ECF No. 35).

On April 12, 2018, Plaintiff filed a motion for settlement conference rescheduling. (ECF No. 36). Plaintiff asks the Court to reschedule the settlement conference, if the Court feels that having a settlement conference is beneficial or necessary.

The Court will deny Plaintiff's motion, without prejudice. It does not appear that a settlement conference would be beneficial at this time. Judge Thurston cancelled the conference in part because information in Defendants' conference statement led her to believe it would not be fruitful.

The Court will revisit the issue of setting a settlement conference at the Telephonic Discovery and Status Conference, which is currently set for August 20, 2018. If all parties believe that scheduling a settlement conference earlier would be beneficial, they may request a settlement conference by contacting Sujean Park (spark@caed.uscourts.gov) or Michelle Rooney (mrooney@caed.uscourts.gov).

The case shall proceed according to the schedule issued February 2, 2018. (ECF No. 29)

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for settlement conference rescheduling is DENIED without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
