Defendants. )

)

On January 25, 2007, the parties filed a Stipulation and

Order to Elect Referral of Action to Voluntary Dispute Resolution

Program (VDRP). The parties’ stipulation does not explain the

feasibility of the referral at this late stage of the proceeding,

as contemplated by Local Rule 16-271(i)(2). While it is understood

that the parties’ settlement efforts should be encouraged, it is

unclear whether VDRP proceedings could be scheduled in this action

without interfering with trial scheduled to commence on April 24,

2007; the Final Pretrial Conference scheduled for February 12,

2007; and trial preparation matters typically scheduled at the

Case 2:05-cv-01390-GEB-GGH Document 61 Filed 02/05/07 Page 1 of 2
