PARTIES’ JOINT REQUEST TO BE

EXEMPT FROM FORMAL ADR

PROCESS

Each of the undersigned certifies that he or she has read either the handbook entitled “Dispute

Resolution Procedures in the Northern District of California,” or the specified portions of the ADR

Unit’s Internet site <www.adr.cand.uscourts.gov>, discussed the available dispute resolution

options provided by the court and private entities, and considered whether this case might benefit

from any of them. Here, the parties agree that referral to a formal ADR process will not be

beneficial because this complaint for declaratory judgment action is limited to Plaintiffs’ request

that this Court declare Defendants to act more expeditiously and adjudicate the application for

adjustment of status. Given the substance of the action and the lack of any potential middle

ground, ADR will only serve to multiply the proceedings and unnecessarily tax court resources. 

Accordingly, pursuant to ADR L.R. 3-3(c), the parties request the case be removed from the ADR
