CHIP-MENDER INC.,

Plaintiff(s), No. C 05-3465 PJH

v.

ORDER OF CLARIFICATION

 THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY,

Defendant(s).

_______________________________/

This matter was referred for early settlement conference as a compromise ADR

option given the parties disagreement over whether ENE or mediation would be more

appropriate. As stated at the hearing, a settlement conference with a magistrate judge has

both evaluative and facilitative aspects, and the court is of the opinion that it is the most

suitable option at this time. Magistrate Judge Laporte is requested to conduct the

conference as she would any other case, and the parties are ORDERED to participate in

good faith with her requirements.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
