Counsel report that they have met and conferred regarding ADR and have reached the 

following stipulation pursuant to Civil L.R. 16-8 and ADR L.R. 3-5:

The parties agree to participate in the following ADR process:

Court Process:

Non-binding Arbitration (ADR L.R. 4)

Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) (ADR L.R. 5)

Mediation (ADR L.R. 6)

(Note: Parties who believe that an early settlement conference with a Magistrate Judge is 

appreciably more likely to meet their needs than any other form of ADR, must participate in an 

ADR phone conference and may not file this form. They must instead file a Notice of Need for 

ADR Phone Conference. See Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR L.R. 3-5)
