NOAH BROWN, Plaintiff, v. NATALIE RAFFERTY, Defendant.
ORDER
CAROLYN K. DELANEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On February 1, 2023, the court issued an order to show cause why plaintiff's claim should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 50.) On February 6, 2023, plaintiff's counsel responded to the order to show cause. (ECF No. 51.) Plaintiff's counsel informed the court that plaintiff was in the custody of the Solano County Jail and released on January 29, 2023. (Id.)
In light of plaintiff's response, the court finds that plaintiff has shown good cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Accordingly, the order to show cause issued February 6, 2023 (ECF No. 50) is hereby DISCHARGED.
The court will now reset the settlement conference that was canceled when plaintiff's counsel lost contact with his client. Magistrate Judge Newman is available for a settlement conference on the following dates: March 3, 2023; March 13, 2023; or April 25, 2023. Counsel for the parties shall meet and confer to select a settlement conference date and apprise Judge Newman's courtroom deputy by email at awaldrop@caed.uscourts.gov within 10 days of today's Order with their date selection.
