IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DUSTY STAHL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ROBERT C. KLOTZ; DAWN HARMON; 

DANA ELMORE; JANA GIRON; AMEE

In their personal capacities, 

Defendants. 

19-cv-00496-KJM-CKD 

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR 

CONTINUANCE OF VDR AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

The parties, through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. The Court has referred the parties for an Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE). But, 

Defendants object under Local Rule 271(c)(2) to participating in an ENE at this time because they 

intend to move to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, and do not wish to contemplate 

settlement prior to the Court’s ruling on their intended motion.

2. Counsel for Defendants advised Plaintiff’s counsel and the Voluntary Dispute 

Resolution Program (VDRP) of their objection to participating in an ENE before the initial 

pleading stage of this case is completed, and were advised by the VDRP that this request needed 

to be filed with the court. 

3. For these reasons, any VDR process should be delayed until after the initial pleading 

stage of this case. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
