UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

HERITAGE INN ROCKLIN, LLC,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-145-KJN

ORDER

On June 24, 2016, the parties filed a joint status report indicating that they have been 

engaged in written settlement correspondence, but have not thus far reached a settlement. (ECF 

No. 17.)

In the interest of avoiding the accumulation of fees and costs through potentially 

unnecessary discovery and motion practice, and to allow the parties some additional time to 

pursue an early informal resolution of this matter with the assistance of a third party neutral, the 

court finds it appropriate to continue the temporary stay of the action and refer the action to the 

court’s Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program (“VDRP”).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The temporary stay of the action REMAINS IN PLACE until further order of the 

court, and the action is REFERRED to the VDRP.

2. Within fourteen (14) days of this order, the parties shall contact the court’s VDRP

administrator, Sujean Park, at (916) 930-4278 or SPark@caed.uscourts.gov, to start 

the process of selecting an appropriate neutral. 

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

specifications and requirements of the VDRP. 

4. 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).

5. Any party that objects to this referral to the VDRP shall file its objections within seven 

(7) days of this order. Such objections shall clearly outline why that party believes 

that the action is not appropriate for referral to the VDRP. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
