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

adjudicate the application for naturalization. Defendants have already requested the FBI expedite

the name check so that the application may be processed as soon as possible. Given the substance
