the specifications and requirements of the VDRP. 

 2. 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. 

 3. To avoid the unnecessary expenditure of costs and 

attorneys’ fees, this action is hereby stayed to provide the 

parties time to complete the VDRP session. No later than five 

(5) days after completion of the VDRP session, the parties shall 

file a joint statement indicating whether a settlement was 

reached. 

 4. The court hereby resets the Status (Pretrial 

Scheduling) Conference for September 26, 2016 at 1:30pm. If a 

settlement is not reached at the VDRP session, the parties shall 

submit an Amended Joint Status Report two weeks prior to the 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
