UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SCOTT JOHNSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JAY C. MCILRATH, in his individual and 

representative capacity as Trustee—The 

Mcilrath Family 2002 Trust, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0180-MCE-CKD 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff commenced this disability access case asserting a claim under the Americans 

with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and related state law claims, and defendant has answered the 

complaint. Thereafter, a settlement conference was set for September 22, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. 

Due to the congestion of the court’s docket and the resultant inability of the court to 

timely facilitate settlement conferences in all cases, the settlement conference is vacated and the 

case is referred to the court’s Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program (“VDRP”). 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The settlement conference set for September 22, 2016, is VACATED. 

2. This action is REFERRED to the VDRP.1

 The matter was previously stayed by the district judge on February 24, 2015. See ECF 

No. 5.

the process of selecting an appropriate neutral. 

4. The parties shall carefully review and comply with Local Rule 271, which outlines the 

specifications and requirements of the VDRP. 

5. No later than fourteen (14) days after completion of the VDRP session, the parties 

shall jointly file their VDRP Completion Report, consistent with Local Rule 271(o).
