not resulted in an informal agreement, the parties jointly believe ADR mediation will do 

so. Consistent with that joint belief, the parties have contemporaneously-filed a 

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order selecting mediation as their preferred ADR process. 

 Currently, the Case Management Conference is set for February 28, 2017. In an 

effort to aid the negotiation and mediation process, the parties have taken efforts to limit 

the amount of court costs and attorneys’ fees spent in this matter. Consistent with that 

effort, the parties jointly request by stipulation that the Court continue the Case 

Management Conference for 90 days to allow the parties to first complete their ADR 

mediation.
