TRACYE BENARD WASHINGTON, Case No.: 1:23-cv-01095-JLT-SKO (PC) Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST AS MOOT v. (Doc. 54) A. CASTILLO, et al.,

Defendants. Following a settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Robert M. Illman in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on November 14, 2024, (Doc. 51 [Minute Order]), the parties submitted a Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice in this action on December 16, 2024 (Doc. 52). On December 19, 2024, the Court issued its Order terminating the action by operation of law. (Doc. 53.) On June 17, 2025, Plaintiff filed a document titled “Plaintiff Request for Formal Inquiry into Settlement Awards Status.” (Doc. 54.) Plaintiff states that despite the November 2024 settlement, the simultaneous settlement of an action that was pending in the Northern District of California titled Washington v. Salinas Valley State Prison, case number 22-CV-05831-BLF (PR), and the passage of more than six months, he has not yet received the settlement funds. (Id.) Plaintiff asks this Court to “make a formal inquiry on his behalf.” (Id.) To the extent Plaintiff requests an inquiry into the status of any settlement proceeds, his request is not properly before this Court as the settlement proceedings occurred before Judge Illman in the Northern District of California.1 Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request filed June 17, 2025 (Doc. 54) is DENIED as moot. The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate the motion in this closed case. IT IS SO ORDERED.
