____________________________________)

Each of the undersigned certifies that he 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 mandamus action is limited to Plaintiff’s request that this Court compel Defendants

to adjudicate an application for adjustment of status. 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
