____________________________________)

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 Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief is limited to plaintiff’s request

that this Court declare Defendants’ denial of immigration benefits arbitrary and capricious.

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
