IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL G. HOROWITZ,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JOSEPHINE K. OLSON,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-05020 CRB

AMENDED ORDER

Plaintiff, appearing pro se, has requested a “prompt ADR Phone Conference” in

advance of the Case Management Conference currently scheduled for December 1, 2006. 

The government objects to this request, noting that Plaintiff recently filed an amended

complaint, that a new attorney is handling the case for the government, and that the case has

a lengthy history, the analysis of which demands a significant amount of time.

While the Court appreciates Plaintiff’s effort to pursue this litigation in a timely

fashion, the Court finds that Plaintiff has not established good cause in this case to conduct

ADR proceedings on an expedited timetable. The Court anticipates that its order of August

21, 2006, has established a timetable that will provide the government with an adequate

opportunity to formulate a position on the subject of ADR proceedings. In the meantime, of

course, the parties remain free to pursue settlement discussions in advance of the Case

Management Conference.
