Case No. C 17-1562 PVT 

PARTIES’ JOINT REQUEST TO BE

EXEMPT FROM NORMAL ADR

PROCESS

 Each of the undersigned certifies that he or she has read either the handbook entitled “Dispute 

Resolution Procedures in the Northern District of California,” or the specified portions of the 

ADR 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 beneficial because this mandamus action is limited to Plaintiff’s request that this 

Court compel defendants to adjudicate the application for adjustment of status. Given the 

substance of the action and the lack of any potential middle ground, ADR will only serve to 

multiply the proceedings and unnecessarily tax court resources. Accordingly, pursuant to ADR 

L.R. 3-3(c), the parties respectfully request the case be removed from the ADR Multi-Option 

Program and that they be excused from participating in the ADR phone conference and any 

further formal ADR process. 

Respectfully submitted,

Dated: June 5, 2007
