Case No. C 10-01850-LHK (HRL) – 1 – 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SELECTING ADR PROCESS 

 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 Processes: 

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

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

X Mediation (ADR L.R. 6): Concurrent with this filing, the parties are submitting 

a list of five mutually-agreeable mediators from the Court’s ADR Panel to the ADR Program. 

(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) 

Private Process: 

 Private ADR (please identify process and provider): 

The parties agree to hold the ADR session by: 

 the presumptive deadline (The deadline is 90 days from the date of the order 

 referring the case to an ADR process unless otherwise ordered.) 

 X other requested deadline: The parties agree to hold the ADR session not later 

than 45 days following service of Defendants’ Patent Local Rule 3-3 Invalidity Contentions. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
