mutually agreeable mediator, and expressed a desire to have a retired judge serve as the mediator in 

this case. On September 15, 2016, the parties agreed to engage the services of the Honorable W. Scott 

Snowden (Ret.) of JAMS to serve as mediator, and to participate in mediation before Judge Snowden 

on November 18, 2016. The parties thereafter each signed the standard JAMS Engagement Agreement 

formally retaining Judge Snowden to serve as mediator in this matter. 

3. On September 29, 2016, the ADR Case Administrator of the Court notified counsel for 

the parties that attorney John F. Barg has been appointed and assigned to serve as the mediator in this 

case (Dkt. 42). 

4. By this Stipulation, the parties wish to confirm their preference and selection of Judge 

Snowden serve as the mediator in this case, and jointly request that the Court enter the [Proposed]

Order set forth below approving the selection of Judge Snowden as mediator.
