UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SCOTT JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MOSSED A. AWNALLAH, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-CV-0490 KJM CKD 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff commenced this disability access case asserting a claim under the Americans 

with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and related state law claims, and defendant has answered the 

complaint. On May 6, 2016, the case was stayed and the parties were directed to attempt 

settlement of this action. On June 29, 2016, the parties informed the court they were not able 

settle the case. 

 In the interest of avoiding the accumulation of fees and costs through potentially 

unnecessary discovery and motion practice, and to allow the parties additional time to pursue an 

early informal resolution of this matter, the court refers the action to the court’s Voluntary 

Dispute Resolution Program (“VDRP”). 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. This action is REFERRED to the VDRP.

2. Within fourteen (14) days of this order, the parties shall contact the court’s VDRP 

administrator, Sujean Park, at (916) 930-4278 or SPark@caed.uscourts.gov, to start 

the process of selecting an appropriate neutral. 

3. The parties shall carefully review and comply with Local Rule 271, which outlines the 

specifications and requirements of the VDRP. 

4. No later than fourteen (14) days after completion of the VDRP session, the parties 

shall jointly file their VDRP Completion Report, consistent with Local Rule 271(o). 

5. Any party that objects to this referral to the VDRP shall file its objections within seven 

(7) days of this order. Such objections shall clearly outline why that party believes 

that the action is not appropriate for referral to the VDRP. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
