Court Processes: 

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

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

 Mediation (ADR L.R. 6) 

(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 16-18 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.)

 Other requested deadline 

The parties respectfully request, if one is available, an ENE evaluator who has some 

background in electrical engineering or experience in litigating patent cases that involve electrical 

engineering technology.
