UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 JOHN HARDNEY, Case No. 2:16-cv-00172-KJM-JDP (PC) Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR AN ORDER REQUIRING
v. DEFENDANTS TO PARTICIPATE IN

R. WARREN, et al., ECF No. 136 Defendants. 16 On May 28, 2021, the parties participated in a court supervised settlement conference, but they were unable to reach a settlement agreement. ECF No. 132.
