JOINT REQUEST TO BE EXEMPT FROM

FORMAL ADR PROCESS

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 mandamus action is limited to Petitioner’s request that this Court decide Petitioner’s application

for naturalization. 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 Program and that they be excused from participating in the ADR phone conference

and any further formal ADR process.

Dated: March 27, 2008 Respectfully submitted,
