Defendant. /

No. 10-02042 CW

ORDER DENYING

DEFENDANT’S

MOTION FOR RELIEF

FROM AUTOMATIC

REFERRAL TO ADR

(Docket No. 13)

 On June 17, 2010, Defendant filed a motion for relief from

automatic referral to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the

instant patent infringement action. On July 22, 2010, Plaintiff

filed an opposition. On July 29, 2010, Defendant filed a reply. 

Defendant merely alleges that the instant action is frivolous,

and fails to show good cause for relief from automatic referral to

ADR. Defendant’s conclusory allegation does not sufficiently

indicate that the ADR process is unlikely to deliver benefits to

the parties. The Court therefore DENIES Defendant’s motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
