JOINT REQUEST TO BE EXEMPT FROM

FORMAL 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 adjudicate the application for

naturalization. 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 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
